Let me begin by saying thank you to everyone who has given me a warm welcome so far. In particular, Dranor has been fantastic in getting me up to speed with the particulars of Imperian, and the rest of the staff has already begun to show me that Imperian has a great future in store. I am incredibly excited to have this opportunity to help shape the direction of such a deep and intriguing realm, and I can only ask that all of you come along for what's sure to be a wild ride.

Dranor and I have begun planning out some fantastic new content for the future of Imperian, beginning with the Defilers class, which we all know is well-overdue by now. I will be speaking not only to the Imperian staff, but meeting with all of you as well, to help determine where we need to focus our efforts to make Imperian into the world we all know it can be. I have a great team to work with here, and I am certain that we will only find more and more of you willing to help bring a new age of activity and excitement to Imperian.

Though I will be holding a general meeting in the near future for all who wish to attend, I am happy to meet with any one of you one-on-one to discuss your feelings on the future of Imperian, and where you see the greatest areas of need for the game. Within a short time, we will put together a solid development schedule and begin cranking out new content for everyone to partake in. It's my hope to include as many ideas and general input from the community as possible in doing so, so please don't be shy in approaching me!

Once more, thank you for the warm welcome, and I look forward to meeting with many of you in the coming weeks!
