There were people at paragon 1000 before RoS launched. So this wouldn't be a world first technically. Though perhaps a 1-800 post x pac paragon?
No, there wasn't. The highest paragon you could have as the pre-RoS patch launched was around 35X something. It was a combination of all your characters XP into one paragon pool. The highest paragons right as RoS launched where around 500-600. I know, I was watching King Kongor or w/e's stream and he was the first to hit 500 (Pre-RoS) using the old cursed chest "guild farming" method. There was no one even remotely close to 1000 when RoS launched, and only a handful of people over 500 and anywhere even close to 600. Diabloprogress gets this data straight from the Armory, it was all easily checkable.
