Getting to the max level in World of Warcraft is a great and daring task. It takes a ridiculous amount of time and grinding, as well as plenty of dungeon raids that will help you get the final couple of levels faster once the rest of the world has little left to offer.

Becoming level 80 is an achievement of its own, and yet for some reason, the game's developers decided to push it even further and turn it into a server-wide race with its Realm First! line of achievements.

The achievements are awarded to those of the few most dedicated players who manage to reach the level cap on their character faster than anyone else on their server.

As you can probably tell, the nature of the challenge means that only one person on the server can actually obtain the achievement. After the number one spot has already been claimed, you either have to concede defeat and live with the knowledge that your achievement list will never be full or try your luck on another server.

Either way, be glad that World of Warcraft doesn't include an achievement for its World First competition as well!
