As some of you are probably already aware, Sparkplay recently made the very sad announcement that they are going to be closing down. The public announcement from Matt Mihaly, Sparkplay's CEO, can be found at http://www.eartheternal.com/

This is a very sad day because I was really excited about Sparkplay and the innovative things they were bringing to our industry.

However, I wanted to reassure all of our loyal players and customers that Sparkplay and Iron Realms Entertainment are two completely different and separate entities. Sparkplay's unfortunate demise will have no effect on IRE or any of our games.

We've been devoted to offering you the best services that we possibly can (lesson sales, big artifact package sales, the new Iron Elite memberships, etc), and we appreciate your loyalty in helping us make Imperian the excellent game that it is. Imperian is an unparalleled success, and there is every indication that we will be charging ahead for years and years of more success!
