Great feats (and defeats) of autorun!

[Portasaurus]

The thread about learning how to navigate zones without a map got me thinking about zones that I just intrinsically know at this point.

Does anybody have any stories of times when you got yourself pointed at a zone, hit autorun, and actually made it to the exact ZL you were aiming for?

I'm also curious what your worst experience with autorun is?

I ran straight to Seb gate from EJ once without hitting a tree or recalculating.
I've drown in WK a few times because I refuse to buy an EB item.

For me, I've done the BB druid rings --> Gfay run so many times that I can pretty consistently hit it dead on.

On more than one occasion, I have pointed myself at my destination, hit autorun, tabbed out/went AFK, and then when I got back, I was in the new zone already! I realize this isn't really impressive in the Karanas or EC/WC, but when it happens for some of the other zone lines with little zig-zaggy corridors, it always at least makes me smile.

I'm not entirely proud of this, but also not entirely embarrassed by it either.

I also have these two runs in Gfay down pretty well at this point:

I feel rather embarrassed by the fact that I always followed the path from BBM to CB. If only I had ever troubled to look at a map...

and ya in classic, following paths + following zone walls was how most people traveled. there wasn't many reliable maps, you couldn't alt+tab, and all zones were new to you. it was hilarious looking back a few years later thinking "damn i looped the entire zone following the left wall when i could have just took the right wall and been there in a minute".

Why do you think alcohol is in this game? It's so that bards can AFK run thru Kithicor from Highpass Hold to West Commons. The beer helps you sway so you can keep moving around those pesky trees while AFK.

I did it once from the exit tunnel near yeti cave area in DL all the way to the FV tunnel without any adjustments.... once and once only!

This could be like EQ pool. Competitions and stuff. Bind sight to make sure no cheating.
