In order to stem the crazy rumors, let me post my intentions for
Aetolia.

First, Aetolia is my home base, I am not going anywhere for the time
being. I am currently working on the race upgrades (almost done) and
then I will be doing havens and updating the player housing code
(guildhalls, houses, etc). I will probably always be here working on
something or another.

Galleus is now managing a lot of the other day to day stuff, including
housing requests, roleplay events, artifact problems, celani interviews,
etc.

This change frees up a lot of my time, allowing for new IRE features to
be added.

Matt and Chris have been working exclusively on Earth Eternal for the
past couple of years. As such, they have not really been able to
implement any cool, ire-wide upgrades. This will change very soon as I
already have a nice top secret project that will be tested on the lucky
Aetolia inhabitants very soon. This also means I can spend more time to
enhance the Nexus client, mobprog functionality, and lots of other
exciting upgrades.

In short, I am not going anywhere, and look forward to some exciting new
features to the IRE games.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Lleian, in the year 235 MA.
