Date: 2010-12-11 01:45 am (UTC)I think it is all about the prestige, similar to why many realms keep 'Realm First' raid kill lists and why there's usually quite a bit of competition among guilds to get those realm first kills.
I wouldn't be surprised if the world first 85 player goes back and does all the quests on this character (it would be a ton of gold at cap) or has another character that he'll level more slowly for fun.
With 10 character slots, I'm betting the fellow has at least one other character at 80, if not at least in the 70's. :)
