I've had an idea for an event I'd love to do sometime but am too lazy to organize it. Someone else is free to use my idea and give me credit though.The Great Blackzone Race - a race from the farthest west gate in Angela (Browngrass) to the furthest east gate in Mercia (Gravelight Marsh).- Every Contestant Brings a Mount of Their Choice (and possibly pays an entry fee to fatten up the price)- Every Contestant Meets in Caerleon Realmgate and parties with a race organized- At the start of the race, every racer zones into Browngrass Meadow. The start time is recorded.- After the race has started, race organizers kick everyone from party as long as they've entered Browngrass Meadow. Those who haven't 2 minutes after the race has begun are disqualified.- First one to arrive at the Gravelight Marsh portal in Mercia wins the Great Blackzone Race.Only rules:- You can pick any route you like to get to Gravelight... of course, the most direct, the most quick (and the most predictable).- If you die, you're out. Suicide is also against the rules, for those who get cute and decide to suicide to a closer guild territory. If caught, you're disqualified.- No using portals after the start of the race. The way this can be verified is by checking the debuffs on a player. If the race takes under 2 hours, the winner should be bound to Green Portal with 2 hours - the total duration of the race remaining in their debuff. If after 2 hours, they shouldn't be bound to any portal at all.- Could consider a rule to insure only 1 member per guild (or even Alliance) is allowed to register.- If no one gets through without dying (unlikely but possible), the prize pool is rolled over into a second race to be scheduled within a few weeks, hopefully doubling (or even tripling) the pool.- Winner takes all. There's no prize for 2nd place.- Anything else goes. Killing other riders (if you can), having your Alliance scout and plan ambushes of other riders and locking down zones for you is 100% acceptable. It's a Sandbox. Win using every dirty trick in the book you like, except outright cheating (as listed above).This sort of event would attract server wide attention. The dream would be Guilds/Alliances rallying behind their guy, fighting ZvZs to open up zones that other Alliances have locked down for their guy. ZvZers get tons of PvP. Royal Guilds could also dive into the action, mercing themselves out or securing their own zone for their guy on coms. Solo players could enter alone or try to gank some Dire Wolf riders... and the riders themselves would stand to gain a fortune, using every dirty trick in the book short of outright cheating to get ontop.My suggestion for prizes would be 30 million silver minimum (this can be made up solely of entry fees, sponsored by one or more wealthy individuals/organizations, or both). If 60 people entered, it would take only 500k from each guild/alliance to make that.
