Hello,

With the three races in the Witherings being finished, we bring some modifications to the race rules. These changes concern the speed eggs and the mektoubs.

- It is now impossible to race and use a speed modification (egg or acceleration skill). Using an acceleration will cause you to immediately abandon the race.

- Death of your mektoub, freeing it, or being away from it will cause you to immediately abandon the race.

These modifications have been established after feedback concerning the races.

Consolation prizes will be given to every player who makes a better time than the maximum time announced on the race.

Enjoy Ryzom and may the best runner of Atys win!

Glad to read this. After my first race i stopped because looking the times was obvious people used speed eggs.
I didn't complained because i would have used them if i had some, anyway good to see i can try to compete for the next races. :)

Why dont you give us real content by fixing dante instead of mek races.
Mybe you should tell the community Dante is turned off and has been so for over 2 months.

As someone who isn't much into Marauder boss hunting, I've gotten more real content out of these races than I would've gotten out of Dante, thankyouverymuch.

Yes, he should be turned back on, but it's not a dichotomy.

meh, I thought the races were a good idea, and good content. As ever the poor implementation screwed it all up for me, but at least it seems lessons are being learned, if very slowly...

Maybe next time.

Apparently sitting down also causes you to abandon the race... I assume because it changes your speed factor? :p

I hope that doesn't mean that getting critted in the legs (causing a slowdown) by a random gingo also means you abandon the race, that'd be rather annoying.
