I think it would be really cool if the staff could take an area of the map (possibly malas, or another unused map) and make a racetrack out of it with all kinds of obstacles, teleporters that send you 20 tiles back, etc.

The goal of the event would be simple; be the first to cross the finish line! Depending on the size of the area you can make the race multiple laps.

It's a great event because it doesn't require any skill in pvp or knowing secrets about UO to decrypt riddles, etc. Just straight forward, run to the finish line event.

sounds great for people with good ping.

staff already said no to horse races

[imported_Rabbi Samild]

maybe we could get a horse race BETTING script and have horse races that we can bet on

That's sounds cool, but it sounds more like a game you'd play at the casino instead of an event you participate in.

Who said it was not an option smoke?

At xuo I set up a horse racing track. There were some people complaining about the disadvantage with lag indeed but there were still some people joining it.

[Eighty Swords]

To be honest that's where I got the idea from! And if people joined on what we all considered a 100% pvp shard, I'm sure people will like it here!

pretty sure shade said in another thread because it's not fair for players if they lag they can't run as fast as another player

[Eighty Swords]

I can understand the logic behind what Shade said, if that's what he did say, but at the same time then someone can say we should stop all forms of competition since all players have varying degrees of lag and pvp tours aren't fair since someone might lag more and see the fs come milliseconds after it actually happens and won't be able to heal on time...

Has there been any survival tournaments, i remember hosting tournaments where i added i cazy ass chicken with 99999 str and everone ran around like crazy to survive.

[Eighty Swords]

but you see eightyswords you can do pvp in game such as gank duel stones etc theres no such event that can be hosted in game thats why pvp is different with lag than horse races because the pvp will always be here

By the same logic, if we added horse races you'd still be able to ride your horse out in the world, so horse riding will always be there.

The point of my argument, as I'm sure you will reverse on me after I said the above, was that in a tour like a 1v1 reg there's a prize on the line and that's why it might be considered unfair for those with lag, they'll never be able to be on par with those with less lag.



In any case, we have a new server now, with a new connection, and we can always try it and see how players like it. If too many complain of lag then it can stop being hosted.

You can also add lots of obstacles that send you backwards 10-20 tiles, or however much, to make it more of a course where you have to take your time to navigate instead of just running in a straight line for 30 seconds where lag would make more of a difference.


Would you like the suggestion more if I called it an obstacle course instead of a race?
