American evening Race Event times updated

The evening race times are still okay for people based in Australia but unfortunately hinder players who want to play during New Zealand evenings (those events start at midnight). We'll be trying to achieve better coverage of events for Season Two. Most large countries have several good timeslots with the current schedule.

Chris, can you address the fact that the general consensus of the player population is that the rewards are rather... mediocre?

The reward of playing races is the enjoyment of competing and placing on both the race ladders and the overall ladder of races results. The rewards are basically trophies that will forever show what you achieved in this season. Their scarcity will make them very valuable in the future. Look at how much demigods are worth in the economy now, and consider that there are hundreds of those in circulation (whereas there will be less of some of these top prizes).

We can't give giant rewards for races because then we get the converse problem where the economy inflates away from you unless you somehow find time to race for 8 hours each day at obscure times.

The challenge of running a race at exactly the right time for people to play when they get home from work before going to sleep in every timezone in the world is harder than I thought :(

At the moment we hit good times for Europe and Western America. Okay-ish times for Australia and Eastern America (10pm?). We'd need to have dozens of events in the evenings to get perfect coverage here.
