Gamers take on Final Fantasy XI boss for 18 hours stright, can't beat him

Ha, what a bunch of nuts. What commitment though, haha.


Chances are, when a Final Fantasy XI guild situated in Seraph decided to take on a new boss in their MMO of choice, they had no idea their hellish experience would be reported across countless gaming sites. When Beyond the Limitation, a name that now seems a bit ironic, attempted to tackle Pandemonium Warden earlier this month, they realized they had bitten off more than they could chew.

“People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people’s lives… We are one of very few LS who have killed AV (not using the wall trick) so we know quite well what is futile and what is not. None of us doubt that PW can be killed. We just call into question exactly what the development team thinks is reasonable from human beings.”

Can you explain this in layman's terms? I understand ppl played for 18 hrs straight... but whats MMO?

I think it just means an online game with a bunch of people in realtime play with one another.
