September is drawing to a close, and I'm happy to announce the following promotions for October:

1) The 20% Anniversary Sale bonus has been extended until October 15th. Any credits purchased until the end of the day on October 15th will receive a 20% bonus (30% for Iron Elite members) automatically applied to the purchase amount. Buy 1000 credits, get 200 free for a total of 1200.

2) You will earn 1 lesson for every 10 minutes you are logged in to Imperian. You can only earn 10 lessons per day on a character. You can earn 10 lessons on multiple characters by logging them in sequentially during the day. Please remember that multiplaying is not allowed.

3) We will be running a series of weekly experience gaining contests throughout the month of October. The goal during these events is to earn as much questing and bashing experience as you can. The winner of each weekly contest will earn 100 credits. You can also earn 5 credits, each week, just for participating in the event and earning a certain amount of experience. That number will be made available at the start of the contests.

These contests will start at 0:01 GMT on Mondays (which is Sunday evening for those of you in the US), and end at 23:59 GMT on Sundays, for a full 168 hours of hunting goodness. The first contest starts on October 4th.

Add it all up, and you can earn 310 lessons and 20 credits during the month of October, on all of your characters, just for logging in and doing a little bit of hunting and questing! How great is that?

Finally, we will be holding a city-vs-city CTF game on Monday, October 17th at 01:00 GMT, with exciting organizational prizes. More details about the CTF will be made available prior to the start, but I wanted to give you plenty of warning so that you can schedule it on your calendars.
