As Achaea grows, we have come to the realization that we'll never
be happy having a game that has only 50 people or so on at peak
times. In order to explore ways in which to achieve our goal of
having quite a few more people than that online, we are going to
run an experiment with credits, of unspecified (though known to us)
duration. We've cut credit prices nearly in half, with your options
being 40 credits for $19.99, 100 credits for $39.99, and 200 credits
for $69.99. How things go during this experiment will determine
whether prices stay this low or not. In any case, as I said, the
reason is that we would like to eventually become a much larger
world, with many more active participants. Eventually, and this
is only a pipe dream right now, I'd like to have enough to
populate two seperate continents, with our to-be-done-in-the-future
ship and ocean system as the only way between them, barring Big
Magic. Imagine the cities on one continent banding together, building
a big navy, and setting sail for a long journey over to the other
continent. That makes my Godly blood heat up, it sounds like so much
fun.

We would also appreciate any help with marketing that any of you can
and would be willing to give us. If you're interested and able to
help out with this somehow, send me a tell or message, and we'll
talk about it. Thanks!

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Glacian, in the year 217 AF.
