Onyxia does Wipe Club: 50 DKP MINUS!

Tuesday May 2, 2006
There's a good chance you are already familiar with "Dives," a World of Warcraft player with an extremely colorful way of leading end-game raids using TeamSpeak. Otherwise you might be wondering why people keep repeating "50 DKP Minus!" in game chat. Dives plays on a European server in a guild called Wipe Club, and a guildmate recorded audio from some of their encounters, including an attempt to kill Onyxia, a dragon that can only be defeated with a group of 30-40 players. Several MP3s of Dives' TeamSpeak antics have since been circulating on the Net, but the Flash animated version of Onyxia does Wipe Club seems poised to make him almost as famous as Leeroy Jenkins. While we've all had raid leaders that take the game a little too seriously, Dives has a passion that you only see in the most dedicated drill sergeants. Be warned that this stuff contains extremely coarse language and is definitely not safe for work.

You don't really need to understand the terminology to appreciate the humor, but it can be baffling, so here are some quick explanations of what is meant by DKP, aggro, DPS, and DOT. Oh, and he's not saying "Welsh," he's saying "whelps," referring to the small dragons on the perimeter of Onyxia's cave.

I myself; have gotten a little too serious in the game,lol. BUT I LOVE The vid. I actually was introduced to it by my brother-he told to search it, and when I did; I found it’s original uploading state, and let me tell you- it’s funny! In fact; I’m hoping of meeting with ‘Dives’!

I knew a guy exactly like Dives. He’d start yelling at you in a US Southern accent if you did the slightest thing off the gameplan in WoW. I think he called himself Uncle, or Deliverance or something.

Oldie but goodie.

It was bullshit like this that made me quit this silly game. Can’t believe I wasted all those months playing (2 level 60s, one with full tier I set, another with a few tier II… was PLing my third to have a Priest too… thank the almighty that I put that game behind me, I have SO much more free time now!)
