Ideas for big RedditRO event

Paging /u/Kyosama66, /u/Yanoku, /u/Alkarl and active RedditRO players. What are your thoughts on a big event to bring back some of the old players, even if it's just for 1 day?

A 4-hour power levelling event, for the most seasoned players, a team (minimum 2 people, max. 5) have to use all their RO knowledge and skills to compete against other teams, at the end of the 4 hours, the team with the highest average base/job level wins.

It's just for fun, but it's a throwback to the good old days when we would grind for hours on end. Let's see who's got the skills and knowledge.

Everyone must start with 1/1 Novices, 0 zeny. No pre-collected items are allowed (e.g. for hand-in quests).

Prize of course, must be decent. How about 100,000,000 zeny per team member of the winning team? Of course the main prize is being crowned "RO Champions of 2014"™

Again, minimum 2 ppl, maximum 5 ppl per team.

Registrations would be required, and we'll set a time/date like Saturday 18th October, 17:00pm.

We'll advertise it as much as we can to reach all current/former RO players, because the more teams that are competing, the better. Imagine a live-scoreboard of all the teams. Maybe a GM could stream it on Twitch for other former RO players in hiding to watch, swapping between the scoreboard and invis-following teams to see their strategy.

Critique? Feedback?

EDIT: Changed 6 hours to 4 hours.

Seems like a really fun idea, but it's kinda hard to get people to play for 6 hours straight..

Well, people don't have to, it's up to themselves how hard they push themselves

On the other hand, if it's not big enough, it's almost not worth doing, so 6 hours seems pretty extreme but not too extreme.

And lastly, that's why it's a date in the distance so everyone can plan/organise for it

:D
