Take the Hobbits to Isengard!

[LabadalofDorlomin]

(is prissy a derogatory term against the CoC?)

Prissy :having or showing the annoying attitude of people who care too much about behaving properly and who are easily upset by other people's behavior

I don't know if under the CoC that would be classed as a derogatory term.

It depends how prissy you are I guess

Nice run Dwarrowdelf

I thought you were going really well on time and saw less horses on screen, very nicely controlled.

great to see so much server support

I drew RL aggro and missed the run. Thanks for the report.

3rd place overall for Dwarrowdelf. they slipped in 1 second ahead of Vilya. Thought they were going to end up in 4th, but they made it by the skin of their teeth.

Only 4 runs left! Can Eldar hang on to the top slot?

Yes they will if the rest of the servers act like they did in Darrowdelf. I would say 1/4 of the time Sapience was in agro. The leader was killing mobs a big no-no the lead group wasn't exactly leading and clearing the areas. Only place they really did that was Isengard and the trolls. I Know Patriotpea knows the correct path as I ran it with him and he was under 44 minutes with out lag. So lag added 3 extra minutes. There was Also Horses riding to the side of the group also a no-no just adds lag. What should have happened was the way all cleared so Sapience didn't slow down the lead. They also did not have captains in his group for the added boost. Do all that and you might beat Eldar.

I think Eldar had worse lag than Darrowdelf. On Eldar a whole platoon of horses seemed to find it necessary to escort the raid. I agree with your other points though. Darrowdelfs raid was scattered and were as useful as the spectators on horses.

Thx for the run everyone made it at 47:48... 'nuff for a fifth place.. so far

Grats on the run. Twitter was having some serious lag issues for me. I also saw Havacar making his character Waved at him but he kept on going on ;p

Lag is the killer I did notice you had horses running besides the group with havacar. A no-no cause it causes extra lag. As well as cloaks. Better luck next time.

[Mistermorriss]

Great to be a part of it today. Here's some short vids I made of the event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAUz...BWHMhnzX5jMBry

The last 3 sections I'll do tomorrow. Really great teamwork and great to rewatch the journey through Middle Earth!

[beastybunny]

We made a valiant effort. The folks that were running with Hadacar with cloaks and horses weren't part of the actual group. We sent tells, yelled in GLFF, Regional, everything we could think of asking them to stop but it wasn't to be. Very annoying folks show up just to make it harder.

I just wanna point something out. Gilrain was the first server out to take the hobbits to isengard. My server. That means we were fresh and didn't really know the fastest way. As other servers have learned the fastest route and so on from experience by watching and planning, I suggest, to keep things fair, why don't we reverse the starting order for the next Moria runs? Starting with Nimrodel, ending with Gilran

[Dolamrothdame]

It would seem to me that if the run's route was announced a month in advance, then all the servers would have time to do practice runs and it really wouldn't matter who went first. But reversing the order also sounds fine.

The route is up to the leader that Sapience follows, the leader can take him over roads or shortcuts through the lands. As long as he arrives in Isengard.

The game login screen says taking the Hobbits to Isengard is at 2:30pm EST, but the post in this link says 5pm.

That was a blast. My main HDD died earlier in the week, so I've had to use my backup OS. It is 32 bit, so I'm dealing with working out the CTD kinks. Nimrodel turned out and lagged out . I don't know what our time was officially, for I crashed at the end. Yeah I have screenies, so yes, it did happen. :P

Actually, Nimrodel - the server the paretty much created the event- was the first out and failed. Once we started the official runs and decided to do it on all 29 servers, Gilrain was first of the official runs with Nimrodel being last and finishing today in 14th place.


The next set of runs already have their first five servers named. Dates are still to be determined, but will be within the next 2 weeks.
The five fastest servers had their names put in a cup and then drawn out. The order they were drawn determined the order they appear on this list.

First 5 servers will be, in order:
1. Eldar (UK)
2. Dwarrowdelf
3. Windfola
4. Anduin (DE)
5. Vilya


Congratulations to Eldar for 'winning' twice in one day. First, for fastest time during TTHTI and again for being drawn first for our next event!

We're already planning for it I feel we now have a point to make by being first.

[Caunthol]

As I'm doing some statistics for our radio show in the evening, I just calculated the total time of all runs (well, except Bullroarer):

It is 32 hours, 48 minutes and 27 seconds. The Eldar time is 2,34 % of that total time.


And congratz to the server community on Eldar for having finished on first place
