Description
🎪 GUILDRUN — The Guild Darkmoon Derby! 🏇
Guildrun turns leveling, alts, and fresh adventures in your guild into an exciting, animated race in authentic Darkmoon Faire carnival style!
Inspired by classic boardwalk horse-derby arcade games ("roll the ball into the hole"), every player gets their own animated lane. Watch the wooden racial mounts gallop across the track in real-time with every quest turned in and every level gained!
Whether playing on Retail, Classic Era, Hardcore, or Cataclysm Classic: all guild members with the addon automatically sync their progress quietly in the background — no external tools, websites, or accounts required!
✨ Key Features
🎠 1. Dynamic Darkmoon Derby Track
- Individual Lanes: Every guild member has their own track with race/mount icon, name, and current level.
- Dynamic Track Expansion: The track dynamically limits its view to the guild leader's bracket (e.g. up to Level 15 while everyone is below Level 10, expanding up to Level 60).
- Real-Time Progress: Every single percent of XP pushes your mount forward along its track.
🚩 2. Milestone Pennants
- At every 10-level milestone (Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60), a golden milestone pennant is hoisted.
- Interactive Tooltip Inspector: Hover over any milestone pennant to inspect:
- ⏱️ Time Played (
/played): Exact leveling time when reaching the milestone. - 🗺️ Zone: The zone where the milestone level was reached.
- 💀 Death Toll: Number of deaths accumulated up to that milestone.
- ⏱️ Time Played (
🏆 3. Hall of Fame & Statistics
Celebrate your guild's greatest achievements across four distinct leaderboards:
- Highest Level: Who is currently leading the race?
- Speedrunner (
/played): Who levels the fastest in terms of pure played time? - Most Deaths (Graveyard King): Who visited the Spirit Healer the most?
- Top Characters (Account Ranking): Groups alts together so a single player cannot hoard all top ranks.
