‘World of Warcraft’ player freaks out during massive earthquake, keeps playing anyway
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
How does World of Warcraft become a sport? When you’re willing to keep playing through an earthquake. Then it becomes the sport of life. A player from New Zealand was streaming a raid when the 7.5 earthquake that struck the country over the weekend happened midway through the raid’s final boss.
Delrio Sierra was playing DPS in the “Trials of Valor” raid when his house began shaking during the final boss. His fellow players didn’t believe him while he was screaming in the mic, convinced that he was exaggerating. The picture of Sierra’s house shows just how violent things got.
Thankfully, everyone was OK and the only thing lost was a wipe on the run. He explained what happened.
I tried to keep playing as We tend to have a few earthquakes, and Odyn progression is pretty important!
For all Wondering, we are fine the house is fine and she is fine! My Girlfriend doesn’t scare easily with these sort of things so she checked the house and went back to bed until we had to evacuate.
No word whether Sierra and his guild have downed Odyn yet.
