Rise on Netherwind, while not the first guild to enter AQ40 and defeat C'Thun, is the first NA guild to kill all nine bosses in Classic Ahn'Qiraj!

<ONSLAUGHT> raced to C'thun, downing the boss in 38 minutes, but left four bosses undefeated. While most of the optional bosses fell over quickly, an unexpected challenge arose in Viscidus.

<ONSLAUGHT> on Skeram, the first realm to bang the gong, has achieved the NA First kill of Classic C'Thun in AQ40. The run took approximately 38 minutes, as the guild rushed to C'Thun, skipping Princess Huhuran, Ouro, Viscidus, and the Bug Trio, as well as much of the post-Twin Emps trash.

The Ten Hour War is in full swing on the Sulfuras server, after Souffle, the Horde player initially banned after being mass reported has their suspension overturned and was able to Ring the Gong to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Since that time, the Alliance and Horde of Sulfuras have clashed in a bitter 9 hour war in Tanaris, with Horde players attempting to block Alliance players from interacting with Anachronos and completing the Scarab Lord quest chain.

Update:

The latest Classic hotfixes have changed the Scepter Shard quest items to epic quality, to make loot distribution easier in raids. Blizzard later added another hotfix, noting that C'Thun's Eye Beam was incorrectly delayed.

As NA players waited to unlock Ahn'Qiraj earlier today, they watched Chinese guilds progressing through the raid and noticed that C'Thun's Eye Beam had a delay which made the encounter significantly easier than expected.
