So I notice the NPCs that teleport you to event areas don't really port you anywhere. If they did or even do and don't work for me I would assume they took you to the STV arena.

Anyway my idea is a leaps and bounds course. Take a remote part or the world map that no one uses and can only be accessed through the event teleporter. I know GMs can spawn objects such as benches, tables, doors, gates etc.. You can take this remote location and create a wicked course with a chest at the goal with nice loots and/or coins inside.

To prevent farming of the coins or items in the chest only spawn the chest when the event is active. Or even scratch the chest idea and just give the coins out to the winner when he or she reaches the goal.

I think this would be a fair event and has no wieght on what gear you're wearing so there's no complaining on such things.
