I don't think these day-long/week-long leagues should exist. It promotes account sharing so people can have their character online 24/7 or god forbid players actually playing 24 or more hours straight on their own.

Let's not forget that people have actually died playing games like diablo 3 for over 3 days straight and there wasn't even a prize there.

Now if you really want to keep them you can introduce a system where in those leagues each player can have a daily quota for playing like lets say 6-8 hours a day and if it's depleted they can't play anymore but you can start replenishing the playable hours while you are offline.

That way you ensure that players won't cheat with account sharing and they won't play like crazy each day. Plus after the initial 8 hours you can still play more in that same day if you stay offline for few hours etc. Also each day it gets resetted.

dude there was a 1 MONTH race and no one died, we were all just exhausted at the end. Plus i dont think anyone here is stupid enough to kill themselves over a game.

Sadlt i can't participate in this race :(
(just like most people who can't, i got family and friends to hang out with, its the holiday season)

Seriously dude what are you 10 or something? For your information i have been playing MMO games for over 8 years now and games for over 20+ and when i dont work i play for 12-16 hours a day so no i am not crying for some loot i can't get i am really concerned for what might happen to other people.

Well if you read carefully i didn't mention that people will surely die in this kind of league but the league promotes either non-stop gameplay from one person or account sharing which frankly i don't care about the second.

If something doesn't happen once doesn't mean it can't happen. There have been many recorded deaths from people who overplayed a game and those games weren't even "competitive" in the sense that they didn't have any prize from playing too much other than bragging rights for finishing first or something like that.

So all i am saying is that it's a matter of time before some "crazy" dude appears who really want's that prized loot from a league few days/months/years from now and while you can't prevent people from playing a game for many hours (unless you play some korean/japanese MMO where they force you to play few hours a day) you can atleast avoid promoting that kind of play in the first place.

I guess that's the last race for this year.

I won't be participating in this race due to the time it is set, mostly will be with family and friends over that period.

However, I hope the next one week race will be a solo turbo race, I know many players want to try this and i think it would give invaluable data.
