World of Warcraft Season of Discovery players finish the new raid 12 hours after launch
World of Warcraft Classic was just blessed with phase two of its Season of Discovery last night, and a team of dedicated capital G Gamers have already not only hit max level, but cleared the new Gnomeregan raid. How long did it take? Roughly 12 hours.
That’s 12 hours to not only get from level 25 to forty, get some decent gear, but also to make their way inside a brand new raid and clear out all the never-before-seen bosses. This race to the world first clear was won by NOVA – a group of five mages, two warlocks, two priests, and a shaman.
The group managed to beat the final boss of the raid early this morning – a feat that initially proved challenging and resulted in consistent wipes for the raid. However, it would soon become easier, once the group realised that they needed to interupt one of the boss’ more troubling spells. At which point, a clean kill was quickly achieved.

I bought my first ever lotto ticket – hours later I scooped £8million jackpot
A LUCKY punter bagged himself an eye-watering £8 million jackpot after buying his first ever lotto ticket.
The anonymous multimillionaire, from Queensland, Australia, was taking a break at work when one of his mates came out with some life-changing news.
He explained someone in their area, Gladstone, had won the jackpot prize.
In a stroke of luck, he decided to check his numbers and was shocked to discover he had won one of the two £8 million ($15million) prizes.
As reported by 7news, he spoke to The Lott and said: “I was just in the car, and my mate told me someone in Gladstone had won division one in Oz Lotto,
“I thought, ‘Oh, I had entry into that draw’.
“Next thing you know, I’m on the phone to you! What a whirlwind morning.”
His winning numbers were 37, 22, 45, 21, 34, 17 and 5, with supplementary numbers 47, 41 and 35.
To make the story even more incredible, it was the first time he had ever purchased an entry in the game.
When the lotto official told him he’d won, he shouted: “Stop it, brother!
“This is incredible, thank you!
“I’ve never even played Oz Lotto before. It’s my first time, so I think a bit of beginner’s luck might be at play here.
“Oh, I think I might throw up. I need to sit down.
“I’m struggling to process this, mate! Oh my god, I’m a millionaire.”
With all the excitement, he still has “no idea” what he plans to do with the money.
The owner of the newsagency who sold the winning ticket, Ian Chapman, said: “Customers are excited as well. They love to see that major prizes happen locally as well.
“We last sold a division one winning entry about three years ago, and have sold seven division one wins since Lotto commenced in Queensland. This is the first Oz Lotto division one win we have sold.
“Our congratulations go to the winner, and we hope that they use it wisely.”
This comes as many lucky punters celebrate their big wins across the globe.
One lucky Bingo player scooped himself a £50,000 jackpot on April Fool’s Day.
Phil Bacon explained he is putting the money to good use – upgrading his wedding with fiancée Cara-Jane Pallett this summer.
Meanwhile, a builder hit the £10,000-a-month Set For Life jackpot and the first thing he did was buy everyone on site breakfast rolls.
Paul Bevans, 50, is planning a holiday of a lifetime in Jamaica, a trip to see his beloved Liverpool play, and buying a camper van.
And an Aussie dad who took a last-minute chance on the lottery ended up walking away the £10million jackpot – but his wins just kept on coming.
He secured wins in division two 19 times, division three seven times and division four 133 times, adding another £260k to his windfall.
Meanwhile, in the UK, a widow scooped nearly £170,000 using her late husband’s lottery tickets.
Lesley McNally, 54, kept playing the People’s Postcode Lottery after her husband Garry suffered a fatal heart attack in September 2021, having celebrated his 60th birthday just five days earlier.

Brits could soon fly halfway around the world in just TWO HOURS – here’s how it works
BRITS could soon fly halfway across the world in just two hours under radical plans to completely shake up international travel.
Long-haul times could be slashed within the next 10 years with commercial flights travelling via space to faraway destinations.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority is funding studies into the physical effects of ‘suborbital’ flights – where passengers would be blasted into space briefly before landing at their destinations in rapid time.
Sir Richard Branson‘s Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos‘ Blue Origin currently sell seats on suborbital flights for an eye-watering £350,000 each.
However regulators believe they will soon drop in price and be available to all travellers.
Dr Ryan Anderton, the CAA’s medical lead for space flight, told The Times: “Point-to-point travel [via space] is definitely not science fiction, it is being worked on.
“My understanding is there are people knocking at the door asking about this. So [it will happen] a lot sooner than people think… Certainly less than ten years.”
Suborbital flights would cut the travel time of a London to Sydney trip from about 22 hours to just two hours.
Research conducted by King’s College London and facilitated by the Royal Air Force found that passengers on these flights would not have to be extremely fit or young to withstand the physical effects.
G-forces on suborbital flights can reach up to six times the usual force of Earth‘s gravity but would only last for seconds upon descent.
Dr Anderton said most passengers would experience “benign” physical effects.
It comes amid plans for a Michelin star restaurant to open on “the edge of space”.

Pre-reservation tickets are going for an eyewatering 10,000 euros a head, and to book out the entire capsule will 120,000 euros.
Zephalto is currently selling “pre-reservation tickets” for upcoming trips in a pressurised capsule, dubbed Celeste, which is attached to a stratospheric balloon.
Inside the capsule, diner will ascend to an altitude of 25kilometers (15.5 miles) into the sky.
This allows guests to observe the curvature of the Earth and twinkling stars as they dine in the height of luxury.
Celeste is set to ferry six passengers and two pilots to maximum altitude in just 90 minutes, at a speed of four meters per second.
The capsule will then float above Earth for three hours, leaving Earth’s high-flyers time to enjoy a multiple-course meal.
