For those familiar to the TV show "The Amazing Race", this race will have a few similarities.
The race will take place across both continents and make use of flight paths, mounts (or foot/hooves!) and wits. Seperated in several distinct parts, participants will have to go through check points and discover their next destination from information and clues obtained from the race officials placed at the check points.
Flight paths that each participant should make sure to get prior to the event are as follows (note that a few of them will be used, better be prepared than sorry!)
- Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Undercity.
- Barrens, Freewind Post, Camp Mojache, Shadowprey Village, Gadgetzan, Sunrock Retreat, Splintertree post, Zoram'Gar outpost, Blackenwall Village.
- Grom'Gol base Camp, Booty Bay, Stonard, Kargath, Hammerfall, Tarren Mill, The Sepulcher.
FAQ Section
How do I enter the race ?
- Speak with any race official 30 minutes prior to the start of the race, announcements will be made in Durotar informing everyone of who will be taking registrations.
Is there a registration cost / why should I register?
- Registration will cost 2gp and this will make you eligible to win one of the multiple cash prize.
Is the race open to anyone?
- The race is targetted to lvl 40-60 players because having a mount althought not required will give a big advantage. Also the zones and tasks required have their difficulty set for players around level 40.
How are the race cash prize covered?? or who's paying for all that !!!
- In supplement of the 2gp registration cost, The guild Council of Untold Prophecy is sponsoring the event with their own money, donations are welcome and credits will be given to those who donate to the prize fund =D
How about possible cheating methods? (Mage Portal, Shaman gate, Warlock summons)
- Officials will be participating in the race to watch progress.
- Mages will be grouped with an official who will monitor their movements, also, there will be a watcher posted at the mage transport location in Orgrimmar, Undercity and Thunder Bluff.
- Epic mounts (lvl 60) are banned from the event - their unique color and unmatched speed is easy to notice and players using them will be disqualified.
And the Hearthstone?
- The last part of the race will require the use of the Heartstone. Having set this last check point on a very remote area of the world, anyone not having a hearthstone ready will be at a huge disavantage, participants will be told in advance where to bind themselves...
When??!
- Friday the 18 @ 7pm EST
