Crazy idea not sure if its been done

Sounds like fun.
Everyone who claims to have set records can now prove it.
Be sure to record and put it on youtube, or even a livestream if thats possible.
Would make for some decent popcorn entertainment.

well it all depends if all the runners will get out their boots and prove it, if there was no portals you could of said first one there wins, but as there is portals its proberley best to do it as per check point as i suggested. and also the good thing is, noone will actually know whos won until the times are all added up. for each checkpoint.

due to the randomness of spawns sometimes it cud be interesting. lol if u remember on the old runs the runners would have to take a break to regroup and heal up, well the break could cost you the win,

also if it was recorded or streamed, i would laugh if a snow worm appeared just before the portal and knocked down the leader and the next guy took the check point lol

So anyone else like the idea? and also whos willing to have a go?

How about some sort of endurance race marathon? Ascalon City to Henge of Denravi, without stops, run trough 22 different explorable areas; fastest guy wins. That'd be epic race..

moved to explorers..

least people are getting my vision lol ah but cosy isnt it more a idea tho ? its neither a quest or a mission so surely sardelac was the right place?

running anywhere before droks run is dull and tedious. I doubt any serious runners would bother, if they even play anymore.

Ah ok then just thought it Wud be an idea!

What I thought was lets say 20 people were interested and we did it in heats of 5 so 4 players per heat. All paying 5k to enter. So 20k per heat to the winner. each heat gets put in the final so all 5 winners face off against each other and gamble that 20k they won in the heat against each other for a prize of 100k and boasting rights.

Here's an idea how it can be done with same group of observers, but this requires the runner to pass by certain outposts they normally wouldn't.
But hey it's a competition, and you can rank runners individually for each region:

At each outpost, a runner must click trade/cancel at each observer. First in Ascalon City by the exit to initiate the run, then for each outpost along the way. This is so each observer can see you actually run to each outpost and not map to any outpost along the way. And if they skip any outpost they're disqualified.

Regions:

Ascalon Region
* Ascalon City * Piken Square * Grendich Courthouse * Yak's Bend

Northern Shiverpeaks
* Yak's Bend * Ice Tooth Cave * Beacon's Perch

Southern Shiverpeaks
* Beacon's Perch * Deldrimor War Camp * Camp Rankor * Ice Caves of Sorrow * Droknar's Forge

Note that the last run from Camp Rankor goes through Ice Caves of Sorrow, otherwise it might be easy to cheat by mapping and running from there. Alternative is to bring an observer on the final run.

While there's no time stamps in the chat logs, observer have to be alert and watch runners enters through the portal and not map in, noting the time they clicked trade/cancel. For this, observer should really stand as close to the zone in portal as possible and all runs have to be done in a designated region like International. It's highly unlikely it will be more than 1 district available lol.

cons, pcons?, no cons? Also you'll have to make sure its significantly long to take into account natural mob variations. Certain spawns may make it harder for some people running than others. Also are you allowing glitches etc? all these have to be decided if you even want to set something like this up.

Edit: you'd need an observer on the run, there's way too many ways of cheating if there just trading people in an outpost.
