Race Season Ten Prizes, Patch 1.3.0k and Cheating

After four weeks of intense competition, Race Season Ten has come to an end. We've awarded the alternate art Demigod's Eye prizes for the players who placed in the top 20 by points or as one of the first three of each class in Signature events. While much of the news focus has been on PvP recently, this was a very successful race season and we're planning to share the competitive limelight with further race seasons. We'll be announcing details of Race Season Eleven in early February. We also deployed the 1.3.0k patch today. Its patch notes are here.

The top 20 players by Season Points in Race Season Ten were: shashk0, theoryofipcus, Whirlwarian, passofexhale, Helman, terrex, pouu, grindis123, Tolerancece, mardukthewolf, kyuzoudono, jstq, blindHORNET, cwu, Morsexier, Fightgarr, Mirato, Robit, oreoresama and boof.

Users who ran cheating software such as maphacks have not been awarded Alternate Art Demigod's Eyes.

There will be no further warnings. All incidents that didn't result in bans before this post have been treated as warnings, but from this point forward we will close accounts that run cheating software.

Many people have asked us to clarify our stance on what people are allowed to run. The list is pretty much this:

• Single-action hotkeys (like an alt+f4 macro)
• Tools that don't require the client to be running, like Procurement

We don't want to hear "I was only running the tool for QOL improvements". If you got the warning, you had the maphack turned on (or worse). Frequently requested quality of life issues will be addressed, don't worry!
