[Achilles]

Well,.. I agree that the Lag was just off the hook crazy.
Really, there is no way to have this type of event and not have the lag, unless, as it was mentioned, contestants whisked off to a private server or, perhaps added for the moment of the event in a special Crew and then have access to a special server location?

There are many other type of contests that would work, but in truth, a MMO will not work with this type of event with all congregated in one location.

And last,.. for the record,…
Rackat, I do apologize to your friend, whoever that is, who participated at the time I "shoe in" participated as well. Your description clearly points to me with the exception that “Achilles” is not the guild master, John is,.. But,.. nonetheless, that was the last race and contestants were lacking and Captain Walter declared a “all can race” moment and so I took off with the group and ran the whole course, and at the last, killed a gator, perhaps since I was a shoe in I shouldn’t have shot the gator, GM Xavier was a little surprised as well as you noted and I had some explaining to do at that moment.
So, please tell your friend I am truly sorry to add to a frustrating moment if that was her perspective, and I would gladly give her a gold code if she did not receive one or was unfairly deprived of such.
Most sincerely,….

-Achilles
