Anything longer than 3 or 4 hours encourages not just account sharing but people spending 30+ hours awake playing. So a month race would be pushing it a bit.

My personal preference would be, for a race that's a week long, limit an account to only being able to stay logged in for a maximum of 18 hours for every 24 hour day. Regulating the player to at least get 8 hours of sleep. Not only would it cut down on the risk of someone dying while playing (this has been a concern for a while now as we've seen people go insanely long time without sleep) but also make it a more fair playing field compared to the players who have a real world full time job, or schooling of some kind, or needs time with their family.

Just pointing out, from the 1st page :). Saying again, there are alot of people here, that think in advance and have morals in preventing serious health issues.

Seriously, people complaining about getting rid of races just because you suck at them or you don't want someone to die?

I'm pretty sure 99% of the people who do the marathon runs for the week+ races are adults and have done it before.. saying its going to kill you staying up?

What a bloody joke, what the f!@# is this community turning into, a bunch of concerned stay-at-home mums?

Are you guys forgetting that ARPGS are ment to be played this way! endless nights without sleep and trying to progress as fast as you can!

Go play pony land online you sooks.

I cant believe this thread is still going on...

One idea came to my mind. They can keep 1 week race, thats fine, but make paralel short based events. In this way, I think balance will be there. People who dont want to destroy their health/have not enough time, will still be able to participate in events.
The last 1 week races were the only races that were happening, so people had to attend, but if there are paralel events, then they can happily play short ones...

Requesting that just because someone can die is like request for banning Darwin theory lol.

No

You can ban everything that is harmful for health and people will still die. People should take responsibility for their own actions. Not the other way around. If someone wants to play 18+ hours a day that's theirs business.

Or how about this: introduce new race types to go alongside the current races.

- 1 week casual. All accounts are limited to 6 hours per day play time in the casual 1 week races.

Problem solved!

Edit:
Personally, I won't be playing the 1 week races, I tried the last one but I literally can't sit at the pc for 18 hours, I think I got to like 11 hours, by the my hands were aching, back felt like it was going to give in and legs felt numb. And the funny thing is I was taking short breaks lol. The next day I stayed in bed as my eyes felt weird I didn't want to look at a screen at all. So yeah I'd like to see more short races and if possible some time limited races in the future as my body simply doesn't allow me to competitively participate in the current leagues.

Omg sir, you are a star, that i just wished for. You totally nailed it here sir ! Love you <333. I guess we needed to discuss trough 17 pages, to finally get solution :P. This is why discussions are superb.


@Derity is the man here...solution has been stated. Now we can retire from this topic thankfully to @Derity. Simple solutions are in most cases, the most hard to find ;D.

Best regards, Fary :)
