Tidings, lads and lasses.

We're seeing great success from the recent inclusion of the Iron Realms
Flash client on the Kongregate.com site. Aetolia in particular has seen
a recent rise in online time, due in no small part to enthusiastic new
players coming over from Kongregate. To those of you whom are new to the
realm, whether from Kongregate or elsewhere, welcome! It is my fondest
hope that your time here will be full of excitement and surprise.

In order to best capitalize on the fresh eyes Kongregate can bring to
us, IRE is making a push to get our rating to a solid 4.0 or higher on
the site. Unlike the TMS rankings, Kongregate users can only vote once
per account. This is done by clicking one of the five stars on the game
page. We of course hope that all of our players will rate our game Five
Stars, and in doing so help to bring a new generation to Aetolia.

While it's my hope that your love of Aetolia will inspire you to make an
account on the Kongregate site to vote for us, I understand that some of
you need extra incentive. So in that light, we are offering the
following: If the Iron Realms game client is rated 4.0 or higher by the
end of December, Aetolia will have a week-long Double Experience period.
In addition to this boon, all active characters will be given 25 Bound
Credits as thanks for your support of IRE.

If you decide to vote (and you should!), just use the following link to
go to our client site.

Remember, Aetolia's growth is powered by its players, so in helping
Aetolia grow, you're helping yourself directly and helping us make the
world a better place.

Thanks as always,
Galleus
