When the two hours are up, even if you are still capable of playing and gaining exp because your server is shutting down last, you won't see that exp on the rankings. The ladder rankings will be saved as soon as the two hours are up so don't worry if the servers don't shutdown at the exact same time.

For the test race it will be possible to play both Softcore or Hardcore and both Solo or Party. This means even if one class is stronger than all the others, it does not matter because each class is competing only against itself (e.g #1 Sorceress, #1 Barbarian, etc). The race will last for 2 hours and the winners will be the highest exp players in their class. Since the event will be taking place on a new server, it will be necessary to create a new account for this race only. The exact steps to join the new server will be available around 12 hours prior to the race. Hopefully everything goes as planned but we are calling it a 'test race' to caution players that some issues could occur. In order to test the new server's capabilities and in order for us to gain experience hosting races, we will be having our first this weekend to test everything. As promised in a previous reddit post, we will be hosting some races to keep us busy until our eventual ladder reset somewhere around early july.
