Yes, that's right, all of them. You've probably heard about this already (we're a little late to the party, just because it seemed a little fishy to us at first), but
a player in Taiwan has an Armory profile that claims he (or she, though the character is a male tauren druid) has achieved all 986 achievements available in the current version of
World of Warcraft. That's everything, from
Loremaster, to
all the ToGC Tributes,
to the Pilgrim's Bounty holiday rewards,
even Insane in the Membrane. If there's something you can do in
WoW, this guy seems to have done it. He hasn't finished this year's Winter's Veil achievement yet (it's not actually possible until the 15th), but he has
done a PvP achievement twice, apparently, so he's still 986/986.
I'm still a little doubtful: as you can see above, the Feats of Strength bar looks like it's empty, but this guy actually has
lots of Feats done as well, including all of the realm first feats (including First Aid, and Leatherworking, all within days of each other). It just doesn't seem possible that one character could do all of that. But it all seems to check out, so we'll give him his due: Congratulations, "Littlegray" of Wrathbringer. And just in case you hadn't heard: there are other games to play.
Update: I thought Insane in the Membrane was an achievement, but it is actually a Feat, and he does not have it. Thanks commenters for the clarification.

First off, he wasn't just commenting it was a male druid. If he was, then it should have just said '(or she)' and then noted the race/sex/class in a completely different sentence. Like Frank said, it reads as though because it's a male tauren, then we are to assume it's a male player.
To the bra burning, sammich making, and Susan B. comments. This wasn't some feminist rant. It's about the fact that it's silly to assume anyone's sex based on their in-game avatar. There are plenty of girls who play male toons, and plenty of guys who play female toons. Case in point, my guild's co-GMs are both male and play female blood elf mains.
This is why it's best not to make assumptions no matter what the topic may be.

I woonder how he was able to get Gladiator on 09/03/2009 and THEN get Duelist on 09/24/2009...
Tyr Dec 3rd 2009 8:01PM
Wonder if she'll quit now that she's done it all.
Kittahsmash Dec 3rd 2009 8:04PM
One minor correction I'd like to suggest for this. This druid doesn't have Insane in the Membrane, though it's written above that he does.
It's not listed under his Feats of Strength.

All comments seems very bitter. If you look at the Wow-progress, their guild actually is the #2 in the world, I am not surprised he has done all the achievement then.

This is legit. It is a dude btw. It's been mentioned on mmo-champ, the escapist magazine, and surprisingly showed up as a front page featured rticle on yahoo.com a few days ago. As to his feats of strength they don't show up on armory. His guild is like the top 5 and there are pol in it and around the world who are only a few achieves away from total completion. Also like to mention that the yahoo article or escapist one can't remember which, showed a picture of him and some hi up blizz honcho congratulating him personally and giving him some award ceremony and gifts or something. Oh and he doesn't look like Jenkins from south park. Was this real skinny tall lanky guy. Also in the mmo champ forums had a discussion bout this. He could easily get these by himself (ie without a team of ppl tag team account sharing) with something as simple as around 6 hours a day. Anyway major congrats to the guy. You're an inspiration to all us "wow nerds" (cookie to the guy who can tell me who I'm quoting from uilgay atchway) and I def insist nay demand a 15 min fame with this guy. Would be so cool to have an interview with him for tips to aspiring overachievers

Pull up any Armory profile. That's what they all look like.

Only one is highlighted as obtained because that's the last one that was obtained (ie. it shows the one you got last to achieve the achievement).
Nightflight Dec 3rd 2009 9:43PM
It was actually very real, the player was awarded personally by Tom Chilton a while back: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fgameonline.yesky.com%2Fwow%2F142%2F9315642.shtml&sl=zh-CN&tl=en

A complete house of God?
Our languages have to be horribly different from one another for that kind of mistake to be made.
Ad134 Dec 4th 2009 9:50AM
it's called "Google Translate".
devilsei Dec 4th 2009 9:50AM
Yeah, a lot can be different. It also doesn't help that a translation site was used to do it, they just put in the words that most commonly come up with that symbol/word.
For instance, in japanese one word can have maybe 20 meanings, and the only difference between each one is a kanji here, or a different kanji there.
Now, I'm no expert on Taiwanese, but I'm sure their language has some words like that, along with a different sentence structure.

My armory profile shows that I have not been transformed by the Leper Gnome wand (Hallow's End: The Masquerade), and that I did not visit a bountiful table in Darnassus (Pilgrim's Bounty: Pilgrim's Peril). Those are the only Holidays I've bothered looking into.
I have the achievements for both, as well as the titles for both Holidays. And I sure as hell remember fighting for that Darnassus table just a few days ago.
So in short: Take missing achievements with a grain of salt.
Skyrei Dec 3rd 2009 10:14PM
Thats freakin' nuts!
If you look at the guild he is in there is like four people over 10k and several more over 9k. wow!

In before nerds start trying to pretend that they're superior to other nerds because their choice of leisure is superior to someone else's choice of leisure.
Oh.... wait....
lolikitty Dec 3rd 2009 10:40PM
Yes the armory is a bit buggy when tracking achievements sometimes, but on the bright side, i just discovered that Mr. Bigglesworth is mentionned among the other bosses in the statistics tab (in dungeons & raids).
Sinalis Dec 3rd 2009 11:22PM
Did anyone notice that the Rogue in his guild isn't that far behind him?

Ronne Dec 3rd 2009 11:22PM
OH dear god, I wonder if this man has slept in the last year? I mean seriously...EVERY achievment? Not only would you have to be a PVP GOD, but a raiding god as well! We can't even get our guild the Saftey Dance achievment
World of Weirdcraft.net your source or all things WOW
lolikitty Dec 3rd 2009 11:37PM
If this dude is in a world top guild, surely he and his mates are the super competitve type and strive to achieve anything and everything in the game. Yet, i couldn't help but notice he only has given 11 hugs, at least since the achievements thingy has been on. Also, he doesn't seem to /facepalm much. Or /lol. (i'm not saying i don't work on having a ridiculous amount of /hug on my profile. Or /facepalm.)

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the winner of the biggest loser on the planet contest! now go get a job and move out of your parents house and waste all that time on something useful for a change, read a book, learn to play music (guitar hero doesn't count) or earn a degree.
