Hi SPF!
It's that time of year! As shown here (scroll down a bit, although recent ones aren't updated yet), for the last few years we've had Rune Finding League in the spring. So I wanted to gauge interest and availability for RFL, if it starts in early April. For quick reference of what's involved, last year's opening post is here.
Last year reflected a format update, to only two rounds instead of three due to feedback about how challenging three rounds of three weeks (or 17 days more recently) is to sustain. We went with the first round as Areas, basically any part of the game (including Terror Zones for those in D2R), except Cows (which were the Round 2 target) and LK. The former Travincal round was effectively combined with Areas from prior three-round format. For those in D2R, Terror Zones can't be run for Round 1 if Terrorized zone is Cows or LK.
Participation was good for Round 1, but faded for Round 2. I thought it would be worth giving a two-round format one more shot before converting to a single-round RFO format. So I first wanted to see what participation might look like. As to timing, I was thinking of two 17-day rounds with a short break between, as follows:
Hoping to get critical mass, so please share availability and if earlier or later time frame would allow you to join. Thanks!
