It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of the “RYL: Path of the Emperor” $1,000,000 skill-based tournament.

Over these past few months, we have spent considerable time and effort trying to develop failsafes that would negate the cheating that originally lead to the tournament’s suspension.

Unfortunately, the game developer has been unable to correct these technical issues in a way that we feel is foolproof.

As a result, the company cannot assure the fairness and equity of the tournament.

We’d like to thank the “RYL: Path of the Emperor” community for their support and understanding through this matter. This is a great community, and we hope you will continue to enjoy the game.

Best regards.

The RYL Team

Why am I not surprised they've found a way not to let go of the million they've probably come nowhere near making.   rolleyes  And the handfull of people left playing can't even bitch about it!

Ahahahah, god, I know it's not right to laugh at the misfortune of others and the fact that there's gonna be some unemployed people here real soon, but damn.

haha, what's funny is that the gear executable that made cheating easy in AC1 still works on this game. Whoever was coding that piece of shit couldn't figure out how to stop it.

So you could fly around 50 times faster than you were supposed to and attack 100 times per second.

Couldn't fix it.

I have to laugh at anyone that was stupid enough to play this crappy game in the hopes of winning a million dollars by pwning with impunity. This game was so bad, not even the possibility of winning a crapload of money was worth playing. You'd have to pay me in advance.

LOL.  A couple monthes ago, X-Play was calling them out on this over the air. 
When X-Play makes you look like an idiot, you're a sad little video game.

That's two canceled million dollar contests. I had Advent Rising and xbox live. If I'd just signed up, I'd have gotten free games. RyL will probably have to subsidize this one as well. I'm definately signing up for gaming contests now.

I think these games always intended to cancel the contests.  Those bastards.

Bah, cancelling the contests doesn't make them bastards. Releasing RYL in the first place is their true crime against humanity.
