Race to the Dark Portal
It’s a major suicide run, but we’re considering a series of guild contests. Some of the more common ideas were a duel tournament or instance farming races, but one of the most interesting was a race to the Dark Portal. Oh, that might not sound too challenging (to those who have been to the southern Blasted Lands), but here’s the kicker…
Your team has to bring a level 1 alt with you.
The first team there would win some sort of prize, although the prize itself has yet to be decided, it could range from items to gold, or other possible rewards. Perhaps bragging rights would be sufficient… who knows.
Here are the rules:
- Start: The Den in the Valley of Trials, in Durotar. All teams will set out at the same time.
- One party member must be level 1 at the start (though will likely be a few levels bigger upon reaching the Dark Portal).
- Teams may take any path they desire, but must stick together. Scouting ahead is okay.
- Teams may not use portals or summoning. Ressurection leap-frogging is not allowed — you must run back to your body or be rezzed.
- Teams must make it all the way to the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, which will likely include dealing with a high-level elite or two.
- Teams may be of any composition of class, professions, and levels.
If this sounds interesting to you, let us know and we’ll start further planning of the event, figuring out rewards, and when the event should take place.

[...] In preparation for this occassion, Hellfire Club would like to introduce the Race to the Dark Portal. This event was proposed several months ago (see the original post) as a little guild contest. Starting at The Den in Durotar, a team must escort a Level 1 character to the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands. [...]
