I would really like to do a 1-100 speedrun. I think I'm going to just display a screenshot of my /played once I reach 100 instead of doing a bunch of VODs, but also, I don't really like current state of the 1-100 category.

I would like to have a 1-100 category where there are no heirlooms, potions, RAF, or dungeons (people would just get powerleveled). I know this would be hard to do even if VODs were required since no one wants to watch a 40-50 hour long video, but I have another idea.

I have no idea if we would be able to get this to work or not, but I know that player action tracking technology is available. I am talking about how the ironman challenge website works, where it is able to track if people do dungeons or enter parties or put on greens or heirlooms etc. I have no idea if we could ever get any sort of technology like that working on this website so that people could just sync their character to the leaderboard like they would with the ironman challenge, but I think it would be really awesome if this happened.

Or if anyone is intrested in creating a separate website or something just to do this, that would be cool too but I understand this would probably take a ton of work.

Now that we have people actually running it, I would be open to creating a 1 to 100, and then moving the current category to 1 to 100 w/ heirlooms.

The 1 to 100 would emulate starting a character from scratch, very similar to the 1 to 10 runs. No heirlooms of any sort No parties No guilds No use of mailbox No parties

We can't use what the iron man sites use because they go off achievement status, and I don't even think we could code anything that would check to make sure you didn't equip an heirloom, or join a party. We would basically need vods for that, because times could easily be faked by just saying you did something, and not actually doing it. You can upload your run in parts to youtube, and I will cut them together in to one vod and take care of verifying and making sure the run is legit, alongside splits and what not.

Other than that, we basically would have to require that players stream their attempts, and make sure that they have people on their stream for the entire duration to verify they aren't cheating. Long runs definitely come with some weird rules.

That makes sense, I have OBS and a computer and internet that should be capable of streaming WoW, (have done test streams with other games, haven't tried wow yet) so I can probably have a run in the form of twitch VODs, if that's what you call them.

Yeah, and if your internet doesn't handle streaming, just locally record, and it will probably come out higher quality that way anyway. Either way, just save all your vods and upload them to youtube in a playlist, and I'll go and stitch them together.
