When The Secret World was back online this morning, Funcom also announced that every player who participated in the End of Days special event will be granted the contest rewards! Instead of the top 1,000 players receiving the unique "Hero of Ages" title and the top 100 getting the Hatchling pet, every character who took part in the event will collect both.

The reason why the developers are taking this route was players found a way to "exploit the mechanics and reach impossible amounts of points which in turn alters the rankings to unrealistic results."
