Hello, Imperian! I'm pleased to announce this month's promotion!

For the month of December, you can purchase stockings filled with fabulous prizes!

Stockings are similar to giftbags in concept, but can be hung either for yourself, or for someone else! It's a great way to give a gift or say thanks to your favorite characters in Imperian.

In addition, any character that logs in for at least 60 minutes a day on 21 separate days this month will receive a FREE platinum stocking!

You can learn all about stocking in HELP STOCKINGS, and view your status toward your free stocking with the command LOGINDAYS.

You can gather stockings for either Ironbeard or Silverbeard, depending on your preference. Rumors abound that the dueling brothers of goodwill will make an appearance later this month with prizes for all of the good little girls and boys out there. And the troublemaking ones, too.

In addition to the normal prizes stocking can award, like the last few years they have a chance to get an additional gem depending on the type of stockings you have.

- Normal stockings have about a 15% chance for a bonus gem.
- Fancy stockings have about a 50% chance for a bonus gem.
- Grand and Extravagant stockings will always have a gem in them.

Remember, stockings are available for purchase from the website at http://www.imperian.com/credits - click the Artifact Packages link.
