Event - Race of doom! March 11 07 @ 3:00PM ET

Post by Red Squirrel »

In this event participants must race on a straight strip of race track and first one to enter the moongate wins. But this ain't your ordinary race. The track is filled with monsters, and this is in fel enabling pking as well. So to refrase this, the one who's body is closest to the finish line wins the race!

If I see enough interest in this I will look into coding an automated system.

I'm not sure at what time I want to run the event, basically when there's enough people online. If tomorrow is not a good time I may push it to another time. Would be nice to see at least 5-10 people. I'm shooting for about 3:00PM ET

This is the first time this event will be run, so I really don't know how well it will work.

For prizes I'm looking into things like:


- brsks
- runic hammers
- possibly powerscrolls
- gold

Going to give this one a try, given we have more population now since last time I tried this.

Event is now over. I will look into scripting an automated system for this as it was tedious to coordinate it manually but the event did go rather smoothly.

If you log in and see 10k ore in your back, you can ignore it, keep it, or do what you want. I did [global instead of [area when I wanted to play a joke on everyone when I gave the prize. Whoops! :P

I did another just for fun, no prizes.

Lymus made it first with his crafter. I set my admin as a player (had 125 of each stat + 100 bonus hits, mana stam and 100 each regen) and it still took a few tries. :P


The following skills will not be allowed durring this event as they are too overpowered:

-blacksmithy
-tailoring
-mining
-lumberjacking
-tinkering


:P

Seriously though I don't know how you pulled that off specially with your 5k ping, on foot. :o:

Lymus has gotten First, Second, and Third place! (Triple client FTW?)

I can't PVP, but I can run like a bitch.

BTW, my crafter does not have Lumberjacking. His build is

Scribe
Carp
Mining
Smith
Tinker
Tailoring
FOCUS FTW BABY
