Treadmill Race Across Azeroth

Posted 28th Aug 2008 03:58 PM by Maticus

A couple of guys thought they’d conduct an experiment to see how hard it was to run as long and hard as our characters in WoW have to. They hooked up a couple of treadmills to some wheels, then attached those to a machine which converts the wheel movements into forward pulses on the keyboard.

The guys, dressed up as female Night Elves complete with weapons, had to run from the Night Elf starting area Shadowglen to Darnassus, and they were pretty exhausted by the time they got there. Check it out for yourself below. Oh, and the video was sponsored by manapotions.com raspberry

Sometimes I wish there was a bit more physical activity involved in playing WoW, for obvious reasons, but this movie was hilarious smile

That chap wasn’t just whistling Dixie, when he took into account the equipment worn by the characters, and then having to run.

But there’s one wee bit he didn’t think of, or maybe he thought it could be included under general equipment. Armour.

Try running 12 miles an hour, in a full suit of plate armour, carrying a shield and weapon, next to your regular supplies all stuffed into your backpack. *grins*

They wouldn’t even have made Darnassus in 10 minutes under those types of circumstances.
