Request for a glitchless category

I can beat this game very fast without going through walls or anything else you're clearly not supposed to do, but I can't compete with the other runs. Please put up a glitchless category.

I second the request. I've had plans to train for an Any% speedrun for a while, but there's no reason why we shouldn't have more categories. There's potential for a glitchless category (I'd love to see the creative routes) as well as a 100% category maybe? The game has many side quests and areas to explore, chests to collect, treasure maps to seek, so that would be nice as well and I personally would try and run on such categories.

I am curious, as this has been one of my favorite games for a while now, would it be possible to have a just tor% ? Because with the potential of skipping portions of the game through OoB, wouldn't it technically be possible to just beat the game as tor?

There's several reasons why that are kind of hard to explain, but the biggest reason why this isn't possible is b/c Roberta is needed for several things to progress, such as making the darkest faerie's sisters boss vulnerable, hitting the target for the warp gate to altador (end of act 3), and to handle the 2nd phase of the darkest faerie boss fight.

genocide% \ enemy%, beat every enemy in the certain area and after that you save the game to see if you defeat all enemies, but probably the only issue are the enemies that go trough walls and skeletons that always come back. but i think the enemy% is better, because you just have to fight 1 type of each enemy, meaning you have to beat every different mote minion. every different bandit recolor and etc. it would be cool? idk

I've been meaning to contribute to this thread but I wanted to wait until I actually played through the game casually to enjoy the experiences it has to provide [it did not disappoint].

I feel the desire for proposing a glitchless category isn't coming from a place of not wanting to abuse certain mechanics, but rather a desire to have more of the game played [in most cases]. As such, perhaps a more practical approach that meets a form of middle ground would be something like an Any% No OoB or Any% NLE [No Levels Early]. This would allow the run to make use of glitches [such as infinite money and super jumps] and open the doors for creative routing such as in-area skips that don't involve going into the voids below the world of neopia.

Completionist runs would be pretty difficult to review/verify for the simple fact that this game doesn't display these statistics in a meaningful way [no in game % for example]. So the previously proposed cats by @SenatorArmstrong87 and @koarasenpai wouldn't really be viable [not to mention there are missable areas/treasures/quests].

I know this thread is pretty old but I figure a response like this is better late than never. I'd certainly consider hopping on the chance of giving this a shot myself [probably NLE] once I learn a bit more about the game from the speedrunning angle.
