North American Community Manager Andrew "Tamat" Beegle confirmed today that a group of six North American players on [West]Ariel earned the first NA/EU Tahabata Pyrelord kill on Feb. 12 at 11:42 p.m. CST. The participating players were Forgiven, Dae,Krull, Decoy, Qloe and Astro. Here's a quote from Forgiven on the kill:

"Took us about a week and a half after equipping everyone with fire resist sets to down it, although [we] had multiple sub-5% wipes. Preparation was hard, we had a number of montages made during training, weekly Rocky movie marathons, and team building exercises designed to increase our trust in each other."

NCsoft congratulated the group for vanquishing Tahabata. You can watch a video of the group's victory after the jump.
