For 4 months in 2005 World of Warcraft became a hunting ground. At this time, Angwe parked his character at Menethil Harbour and he killed everyone that tried to get on a boat! If you were playing World of Warcraft at this time and headed to Menethil Harbour, then it was very likely that you would have met a gruesome end at hands of Angwe!
Killing upwards of 10 people a day, Angwe claims to have killed over 10,000 people in the game and for this episode of Tales From The Hard Drive we tracked him down!

Who is the narrator
I think this is great. What a fun story. Go Angwe!
"That's probably my most prized possession other than my daughter"… yikes.. that says a lot.
This guy is a Legend that will never be forgotten for many on Dethecus. I was Kershaw, one of the best geared hunters on alliance. These were great times!
I read the website back in the day when it was live, and it was absolutely fucking hilarious.
Did he get ganked by multiple rogues?
Now do a video on Himanshu and War Song Battalion on Emerald Dream…Its crazy I went from running from Angwe on Dethecus to Fighting WSB and all their surrounding simp guilds on ED…I had a great wow experience….
Hes one of the reasons I tried to gear up as fast as I could by the Time I felt I was ready for him he was gone or quit I assume but he killed me at least 5 times as a level 20 through 50 or so. There were lots of Rogues cheesing their way to infamy as rogues on Dethecus Rogues were just ridiculously over powered but he and people loke him made the game fun
lol fat losers just like in the South Park episode
Haha I remember this guy. He did kill me a few times, but it was pretty easy to avoid. I had a lot of alts, on that and other servers, and there was always stuff to do, so I never understood why people were dedicated to suffering by getting killed over and over.
Just do other stuff, or take a break, whatever. And he makes the point: it's a PvP server. If you don't want to PvP, then go play on a PvE server.
Anyway, great seeing the man, the myth, the legend.
Can't blame him. He must've had so much fun, and all those triggered kids … what a beauty of a nostalgic story. Good thing there weren't many of him though.
I won't forget Angwe
Still has his page bookmarked, decided to look him up to see if he's up to anything
Came across this semi recent video, so wonderful, so nostalgic
Angwe was very kind to me. I had babelfish addon back then. Hope he's doing well right now! Dethecus was such an amazing community. I remember many different guilds and people there from Saga, to Months Behind, to The Mile High Club, Jagerbombers I believe was the name of one I was in as well. The leader of that guild (Redtiara) is still one of my best friends. Playing against characters like Angwe made the world feel alive and made you WANT to be involved in the community and drama. It was worth the sub just to be apart of Dethecus community and forums. Tons of memories and fun.
Played Lathirias, Druid during Vanilla as a young teen.
Great story haha. But why was there not a lvl 60 of Alliance to protect the low lvls? That would be cool for the ending. Bossfight
LEGEND
@barnybee
when you do great roleplay
For the record, real Angwe is the sweetest, most kind-hearted man I think I ever met. Insanely nice and thoughtful guy. The separation of concerns (personality-wise) is spot on, thanks PC Gamer for doing this subject justice.
yeah he looks like someone who would do that. gank people that cant fight back and then vanish and run away as soon as anyone his level shows up.
legend
Loool
This dude is the reason we have to organised guard duties on zappelin tower at undercity. Cause alliance retaliation was organising a rotation assassins on the zeppelin.
Pretty Wrong, but I mean, you do sign up for being ganked playing on a PVP Server, in-universe wise, this guy was doing his duty for the Horde!
Nostalgia! I fought Angwe many times on my NE Warrior.
Angwe made the boring boat ride a Raid. Its not that special to kill noobs, but the dedication is legendary.
inspiring vid and a wonderful trophy collection
I remember this guy .. and have fought him tons of times
Rise of Honor – Dethecus
This has to be one of the best gaming stories I’ve ever seen.
Angwe was just the PG WoW version of EQ's Oasis docks.
Really well done, great video!
6:03 xD
do the blood plague
your pain is like wine to us (i totally get it wish i could be them guys) but he looks like he still lives with his parents! (i'm not dissing him if that was me it'd be totally worth it)
