"World Record Attempt" over a World of Warcraft title screen

WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT: Longest World of Warcraft Stream! (and it’s for charity, too!)

We’re doing it.

We’ve been planning this for the past couple of weeks. We’ve set the dates, we’ve checked our subscriptions, we’ve bought really good coffee and a wee bag of doughnuts. Folks, we’re going for a record.

To round out our month of fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support, we’re going to attempt a truly mammoth streaming session and have a crack at beating the world record for longest World of Warcraft stream. Currently, the official record stands at 32 hours and 36 minutes. Pfft, child’s play.

Starting at 09:30am on Friday May 29th, Alan and Jamie will attempt to stream for at least 33 hours, under official World Record attempt rules. The livestream VOD will be submitted for consideration to the good folk at Guinness World Records and hopefully we’ll be able to leverage our new found fame in order to raise a butt-tonne of cash for cancer support.

Throughout this two day streaming event, we’ll be starting brand new characters and taking them through from scratch. We’re randomise faction, race and class and will go for a mix of questing, dungeons and raids and exploration.

During the record attempt, we’ll have a pile of giveaways and some really fun audience participation, so get active in the chat for fun and freebies!

I cannot stress enough just how important this is to all of us. Macmillan Cancer Support does incredible work and right now this is a very personal issue, so please give if you can (click here to head to our Game Heroes page) and share the ever-lovin’ crap out of these posts. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.

Well, wish us luck!
