Hello!

First, I need to extend my thanks to Varian for giving me this
opportunity. I have been a part of Aetolia since its inception, and hope
to continue aiding in its progression more than ever in my new role.

To all of you who have sent me your congratulations, my continued thanks
as well. You are the reason for the passion with which I approach the
improvement and maintenance of this realm, and your approval and
recognition is the highest form of compliment.

Now, to business. My new role as Assistant Producer will in large part
be reminiscent of the role once played by our beloved Belakai. Many of
the things you may once have gone directly to Varian for, please direct
my way in the future. This includes housing and pet requests, artifact
questions, and any administrative communication that would not be
appropriately conveyed to the rest of our esteemed staff.

As concerns housing and pet requests, please make sure you not only send
me a message about your request, but also e-mail me directly at
galleus@aetolia.com before anything else. The more information you
provide, the better. I will reiterate that before any such purchase,
make sure that you have bound the appropriate number of credits.

It is my hope for the near future to work on improving much of the
organizational structure of Aetolia. Varian will continue to be
communicating with all of you via the forums to relate the work we are
doing behind the scenes, but I will be holding some meetings and
discussion sessions in the near future to gauge where I will be pushing
the development goals for the rest of our staff. In the mean time, do
not feel that you cannot communicate any personal statements to me that
you may think I should hear. I look forward to hearing from all of you
and making sure that many of you are involved in guiding the future of
this realm we share.

Once more, I thank you for your recognition and support. I hope you are
as excited as I am to begin bringing Aetolia up to a new standard of
quality.
