COMMUNITY ADVICE PLEASE

So, I want to do a speedrun of Neverwinter, which is an MMORPG, but I don't know what rules to put on it. I need rules such as if I should be allowed any breaks, current estimated run time is going to be at least 36 hours, could be less when I finish mapping the route. But, I still would like some help, so if you have any suggestions on how to get rules for this run please put them below, I really appreciate it.

Damn 36 hours? You would definitely have to have some type of break for that unless you got a bladder of steel, either it be during a period where there's an unskippable cutscene(s) (not sure if there even are any in Neverwinter) or it being a very specific amount of time at a specific point in the game

there are no cutscenes, so it would have to just be a point where I would need to pause the timer

No pausing the timer. Take whatever breaks you need, but the timer keeps going. Consider http://www.speedrun.com/Baten_Kaitos_Eternal_Wings_and_the_Lost_Ocean#100 It's not 341 hours of actively playing.

Yeah I would agree no pausing the timer, just to plan your break at the best time at a specific point

yea, it makes more sense to not pause, I guess I will have to try and find the best spots where breaks could happen

Time to get a mini fridge and one of those piss pots Kappa but good luck with your run dude that's gonna be one dedicated run

36 hours is quite doable in one sitting if you're determined enough- I've done it twice myself.

Incredibly draining, but oh so satisfying too.
