As many of you may remember, today is Aetolia's first birthday. One year
ago today, we opened our doors to the public after months of hard work
and preparation.

If I may break character for a moment, I want you all to know how
important not only Aetolia is to me, but how important its players are.
It means a great deal to me personally that so many of you come here to
find entertainment, friendship, competition, and mystery. Thank you, not
just for showing up, but for caring, becoming involved, and making your
own marks on the world. Without you, Aetolia would be nothing.

We've come a long way in a year, but in many ways we're just getting
started. I can hardly contain my excitement thinking ahead to what's in
store for the next year. Compared to the first, you ain't seen nothin'.

And because I'm just so giddy about it all, I've decided to run a credit
sale through the month of October. Until the end of October 31st, there
will be a 30% bonus to credit purchases!
