-Tolkano [Tournament Rewards] has been added to the Rollerbeetle Racing outpost.
-Players are now required to register with Tolkano before they can participate in Rollerbeetle Racing.
-Eldrid the Ancient [Records] and Little Jack [Rewards] now base their list of the top racers on registered account names. An account name can only be listed once on the top racers list.
Let the good times roll. (Yes bad pun...)
Lookin forward to Roller Beetle Racing!

good pun
and does this mean that an account's name is only on the list once this time? so 100 will actually be given out?
neway here i go mini greased

Apollo Smile
Yes, only one spot on the list per account.
novawhiz
well i guess thats good and bad... with 100 beetles out the price will prolly drop a lot but 100 ppl on list is higher chance of me getting one i guess.
Sir Skullcrasher
I guess A-Net is handing out Grease Lightning again for the top 100 racers?

If Anet where smart about the top 100, they should give out a Nian Mini as a reward.
Edit; Thank you Anet for fixing the top 100 list!
Good luck everyone on your racing adventures!

oh schweet. when i decided to repick-up guild wars last year it was right in the middle of some roller beetle racing and i got hooked again after a 1 year hiatus. still i don't know how the top players got their scores. it's so competitive in there!
razerbeak
I just remembered I got scammed out of roller beetle racing last year because I had to play on my aunts pc- 512 RAM = load in after the race starts :P go go gamer points!
Cale Roughstar
Yay for no multiple scores! My fingers are twitching with the excitement already.
See you all on the track!
See you all on the track!

Just I thought, I hope they implement the "increasing amount of gamer points" for consecutive wins like they did in the costume brawl.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.
It's about freakin' time!
Would definitely help out DA players more than RBRers, but I'd welcome this change.

Shall be a good time.

Yep i'm happy about that, gives more of a chance to make it into the top 100.
But i guess you still have to be pretty skilled to make it, because i'm sure there are more than 100 very skilled people out there.

One of the best moment of the year for me! Hope I'll manage to play a lot.

That is awesome news!!! Good Job Anet! Thanks for fixing that!

I know that Apollo Smile already pointed this out in the OP, but please remember to register with Tolkano for the races. I've been getting complaints about not being able to participate, about there being a bug that prevents them from participating, and when I ask them whether they've registered with Tolkano, they say they haven't.
So. Register with Tolkano for the races. :-)

But you don't have to register again if you've already registered.

I got 474k on my third time through. Let's hope it stands. I love this race
Sir Skullcrasher
I'm at work atm, what is the top score right now?

Between the varrying lag and people playing to win (and not time), it's becoming impossible to score high (managed 470k only once, no SRB in 20games+ !)
frenzy12
Hopefully Regina Buenaobra reads this again, but if you make leaderboard with an account name and change it after getting on the leaderboard, will it affect anything? Thanks.
And right now I have a 475k, but haven't been able to race due to my internet lag (1k+ pings constantly)
Have fun guys!

good to hear...i always loved me some beetle racing.
the lag was always horrible, and the scoresheet was dominated by people who synced in the unused euro districts and had a group or 8 friendlies that wouldnt hurt eachother and take turns getting max scores, whoever was lucky enough top get a few supers in a race...
each year i got around 70th place in the first few days, and was pushed off by the few top scorers.
im glad that others will finally get a chance to get a mini this year =) (even though the prize is strictly cosmetic and therefore better off for the ladies)

Anyways, good luck to everyone.

Syncing is a very rare thing, guys. Think of how rare an echo + SRB is. Now think of how rare syncing perfectly is. Now think of the combination of the two.
Pretty rare.
Pretty rare.

wait so u get mini greased lightning if u get top 100?
Scheda
I just don't get why the race and the Rings of Fortune got to be open the same time. I got an average ping of 350ms at the beginning of the event and now that everyone's afking it climbed up to 19'000 which makes racing kinda impossible to do - can't actually even go straight.
StormX
I second that. I don't know that Afking is causing the lag, but the constant rubberbanding makes it near impossible to race.
IattackU
I managed to get a 469k and a 468k today, but seriously its almost impossible to get on the top now. I'm gonna have to agree with both of you that lag is causing a major problem. Half the time at the beginning I'll be ahead of them then get rubberbanded back behind the person in second.
Apollo Smile
I've had a couple good runs, but most races amount to people playing "Twisted Metal".

Played for a few hours, but I rubberbanded pretty much all games, except for 2-3 games, which i got 471+.
