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 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.

Sadly, can do this in most old world zones that are open and don't have considerable obstructions. When I'm on my lv60 I just aim and hit autorun and minimize the screen until it is obvious I finished zoning. Only obvious since WinEQ resets my mouse to the top left of the screen once I've finished loading. I usually use a tree or other landmark near zone-ins to aim myself.

Highly immersive traveling experience.
