I would like to give it a try and post in this order. I hope I could find the correct ones.
The short answer is that is not correct.
I'm going to chat with Akkilles about guesses. Like, should I say "you missed __ guesses" or something?

A hint on how many were wrong would be nice.

ya was good challange for melees
mages cant run fast to explore more maps.
melees had more advantage here...
Umm archers are melee and cannot run fast even with speed potions
However everyone could have used the test server.
works really well.

I sure cant stop that, but that is being incredibly cheap. A very large purpose of the contest was to encourage exploration and not just hopping from map to map.

1 Well considering that all characters 1250+ have boots+1 and legs+
→ this is an advantage.
→ being able to us speed potions make it a LOT faster.
2 Archers and mages cannot use speed potions
→ this is a disadvantage
3 level 50 players can die in places where a level 750 can just walk through.
And: still have to guess the co-ordinates of dungeon maps Maybe some of those dungeons have a level limit. We don't know.

So I tested:
Running from the gates of Silverwood to the Pet Shop via portal at Banktown
LostKnight (sword): Start 47:00 - end 48:14 = 1 min 17 seconds
- legs+1 and speed pots.
Cosair (fairy): Start 51:00 - end: 54:43 = 3 minutes 43 seconds
- using D-pad which is faster than tap to move.
Clearly ranged characters have a disadvantage.
Now:
SellSword has created a "Mini Map Challenge" to test how well you really know your mini maps. Below is an image that contains 81 mini maps from the game. The purpose of this challenge is primarily to have fun, encourage exploration of the FT world, and promote awareness of the importance of the mini maps while we play. However, the first person to correctly identify all of these mini maps will be given one pet item that SellSword has donated as a reward.
If I "knew all the mini maps" I would not have to run around.
Running around gives players with +1 legs and speed pots an advantage.
Using the "test server" simply levels that playing field especially if I do not know where "that map is".
It's still a great challenge/contest.

What is fair for everyone is a new contest that never existed before. Only the diligent will win as it is rather a big task I think. When a chocolate ice cream eating contest is announced inevitably someone wants vanilla instead or complains they are lactose intolerant.
