Would it be possible to add Bree% and Shire% categories, much like the Ered Luin% already on the board? As in, Bree/Shire% is finished when you complete all deeds there.
Some thoughts after doing a run of f2p 1-10 w/ prologue -
-
There needs to be rules added for intervention from other players. I was tempted to have a max level just mob tag and get me to 10 right after the intro but I think that goes against the spirit. Some encounters with players are inevitable, as random people will be leveling - but it should be kept to a minimum
-
With regard to looted items, there should be a rule that either all looted items are fair game or no looted items are.
-
For 1-10, any fellowshipping should be against the rules. Fellowship runs should be a separate category (but I don't think anybody would do it so probably not worth the effort)
-
For vip leveling runs, it would be fun if all account items and store items were allowed, other than valar/level skips. It would be a nice difference between the f2p run if VIP could have a 78% mount with 200% xp right out of the gate for super fast runs.
-
(for leveling speedruns) VIP runs in general should be considered non-competitive, as it could be the 100% exp weekend which would obviously skew non-weekend runs. Obviously this isn't relevant for things like minas tirith%
Also I'd be happy to help moderate/review runs if you want a second pair of eyes. I spread some interest to the category to people on Arkenstone so I'm guessing more runs will be coming in soon.
