SOE will be hosting a "Norrathian Rat Race" in EverQuest II every day from today, October 13th, through November 6th, 2009.

In order to participate, players will need to create a Level 1 Ratonga on their server of choice, and then meet up at Hate's Envy on the time and date scheduled for their particular server. Once there, players will compete in a race through Norrath to gather items outlined in a provided list. The players who finish fastest will be treated to an as of yet unspecified reward. For the slowpokes, a prize will be awarded for simply showing up.
