Yes, a world record will be set within the next few months if not weeks and I'm the man who's going to do it. You're probably saying, Woooo uncle Tom are trying to bullshit me here. No, I'm not. In the following weeks, I'm going to be preparing for the most exhausting and tiring thing known to man. I, Diablo Fenatic, is going to play World of Warcraft, yes wow, for 72 hours straight which is 3 actually days for those of you who are bad in math. Some of you either are laughing your heads off right now or are getting ready to give me some shit. The fact of the matter is this as been in the works now for a few months and all the preparations have been made. This thread is just me telling you people what’s going to go down.

I like the life I lived, because I went from negative to positive.
You know very well who you are, don't let them hold you down, reach for the stars.
I'm going to disappoint you and say that unless you plan to use certain harmful medication, what you plan is psychologically impossible because the brain cannot stay awake for 3 days straight, even in a life-threatening situation. See the guy who tried to fly in an air baloon for 3 days and fell asleep after almost dying from sleep deprivation.

Done before. Sorry. Plus you might die. And why bother? lich king content from what ive heard form my buddies is a fucking joke. They got all 10s and 25s on farm already with nothing to do you will run out of content fast if your a PVE person. And if your PVP well....you must like AV :P.......
Oh and I wont laugh at you. I used to do similar things when i played in vanilla and BC. But i would always get some sleep......play for 16 hours or so...sleep.....rinse and repeat. MAkes playing it a lot easier
It is definitely possible to stay awake for more than 3 days. ABSOLUTELY possible. The world record is 11 days I think. I have personally been awake for nearly 7 days - I fell asleep finally during the sixth.
Still, though, I don't recommend trying this. I payed severely for my week-long insomniatic wakefulness and spent nearly a month trying to get back on a regular pattern. Not to mention how unhealthy it is for you.
It really isn't worth it. Like someone said there isn't enough content anyways. I see you playing for 30 hours and then getting bored. My friends said that it only took some of them a couple days to get through all the content. I don't know if this is true as i don't play wow but if it is there isn't enough content for 72 hours straight of playing. Plus if you die, who will we have to countdown till Diablo 3?

I've made up my mind guys, I'm going through with this. To give you a little more reassurance, my brother is going to be at my side and so are my friends. They will be giving me food on a regular bases of every 4 hours and if there are any signs that my life is in danger then I will stop. I'm not doing this for the fame nor am I doing this so that I can talk down at people. I'm doing it so I can look myself in the mirror every day and think that I'm able to go the distance and realize that no obstacle can stop me if I put my mind and body to it. Some of you might not understand this or even approve for that matter, but this is more of a personal thing. The only two reasons why I picked WOW are because my brother bought me the game for Christmas and because it's just one of those games you can pretty much play for ever and still have things to do.

I suggest then you do something that really requires willpower and doesn't damage health...
Staying awake for 72 hours excluding automatic disablement is really not exactly hard.
Lol.....Nobody tell him what could happen!shhhhh. do it!!!
Seriously though....This is a negative effect of really cool games, we have people trying to do the silliest things....Why not strive to achieve something more tangible with some actual worth?

So your still in the leveling stages? Argh man I would nvr be able to handle that for more then a few hours at a time. Altho leveling nowadays in wow is insanely EASY compared to when I did it so you couold probably go from lvl 1-60 in that time assuming you know what your at and have no down time hardly.
nor am I doing this so that I can talk down at people
Playing WoW for 72 hours wouldn't give you the right to talk down to anyone... lol?

All you're proving is that you're able to do extremely repetitive tasks for really long amounts of time
Come on, it's gotta be at least partially for the fame or you wouldn't need to announce it here.
Hey, I didn't say fame was a bad thing
I will be taking breaks to use the bathroom and no I'm not going to take recreational drugs or red bulls. All I'm going to do to get my energy is eat and motivate myself. This will be done in my bedroom and I plan to video tape most of it and do it live at the same time using skype or something. I'll let you people know everything before I go threw with this.

and how on earth are you planning to stay awake for 3 days in a row??
what a really waste of time
hehe I just pulled 35 hours studying for a final then not sleeping from stress anbd THEN coming home from it and studying for another :D. IT SUCKS ASS
Still, though, I don't recommend trying this. I payed severely for my week-long insomniatic wakefulness and spent nearly a month trying to get back on a regular pattern. Not to mention how unhealthy it is for you.
I know some guy died in (was it South Korea) a long time ago playing Diablo II. But that would sound right, since some people play it so religiously.
