As of 5/29/22 at 10:30 pm EST, there are currently 47 slots open for The Amazing Race Around Middle-earth! As a reminder, you are NOT required to sign up ahead of time unless you wish to reserve a spot in advance.
It has come to my attention that even with the "collect email" option in Google Docs turned off, the site still requests an email address for whatever reason (seriously, Google, back off!).
To bypass this issue, here is an ALTERNATE, FULLY-IN-GAME process to sign up (thanks to Mima in the LOTRO RT Discord for suggesting this):
1) Log into the game using the character you wish to enter into the race. Be sure you are on the CRICKHOLLOW server.
2) Send answers to the following questions to GILGAMOTH (that's me) via in-game mail:
- Character level? (minimum is 71; suggested is 110+)
- Do you have the Journeyman Riding Trait? (this question will determine whether you will need to use Smell The Roses, so you MUST answer yes or no)
- Do you have a goat AND a warsteed? (Remember that goats are required for Moria! Even a 32% or 62% speed goat will work.)
3) Wait for an in-game confirmation reply mail from me, and then you're all set! All you need to do after that is practice and get ready!
Apologies for any prior inconvenience.
