GMs! Do a Naked Gnome Race event!

I don't remember what server I was on, and I also don't remember if this event was run by a GM or by a guild or community member, BUT we had a Naked Gnome Race. This is how I remember it working:

1. Participants made a level 1 gnome.
2. Gnome had to remain level 1 and have no equipment except what you are given on character creation.
3. No buffs, ports, escorts ect.

You traveled from Akanon to Qeynos and the first person to arrive in Qeynos gets some kind of prize.

I wasn't able to participate in the event due to a family reunion, so I'm not sure if they allowed binding during the trip.

How many people would be interested in participating?

If this has already been done on this server, then ignore me.

Never would it work. Mobs run too fast here. The skeles would finish you before you got to BB.

Funny since some Vesica Dei members are doing this very event as we speak. The race leaders are already in Qeynos without dieing...

Just dont be bad and you'll be ok. Mob runspeed wont hurt you that much.

Hummm, wonder how they went.

The event is based on the fact that a good number of people are going to die. Only works right if you have a good number of people. Remember you don't have to out run the NPCs, just your fellow gnomes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dead gnome corpse dragging in the arena was fun as I remember it back on RZ. The first team to drag a dead gnome corpse thru the goal scored a point.

Gnome punting I think they called it.

I think the mechanics have changed a bit with /corpse tho, but meh.

I still think it would be fun if they all turned in the PVP book and fought the whole way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
