“A character named “Little Gray” on the Wrathbringer server has completed all 986 of the game’s ‘cheevos, killing 390,895 creatures and finishing 5,906 quests along the way.” [Joystiq]
I was under the impression that it couldn’t be beat and this isn’t work of The Onion. It really makes you wonder: How many hours did he invest into this game?
