Iron Realms will be releasing our newest game, Starmourn, next week. We'd just like to take this chance to remind everyone that you will not be able to use retirement credits on Starmourn for the first THREE months.

Please do not retire your character on accident!

We're going to allow retirement into Starmourn, but not until March 2019. After that point, people with existing characters will have 30 days to spend retirement credits on any existing characters in the game. New characters will, as per our other games, have 30 days before they're unable to receive retirement credits.

The reason we're instituting a delay is that we really don't want people retiring their characters on day 1, playing Starmourn, and then regretting their decision. It's not that we don't think Starmourn will be awesome, but it'll be the cool new toy, and some people will dig themselves a hole and regret it. We also can't allow people to back out of retirement because then what we'll see is a flood of people leaving in order to try out Starmourn, many with no intention of doing anything but playing around and then returning to their previous game. That's disruptive to both the existing games and Starmourn.

We're really excited about the release of this game, and many of us have worked hard to make it a reality. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Naturalis, in the year 180 AM.
