Hi everyone!

As you may or may not know by now, I've jumped at the opportunity to
be acting Moon Mage Guru. What this means is that I'll be phasing
myself out of the Premium Program and into the Moon Mage Guild over
the next couple of months.

This may leave you curious as to the status of the hunting grounds
I've been working on, so allow me this rundown:

A) The player-designed "Dunes of Despair." This area is so close
to being finished, that I don't expect my new duties to affect
its opening and general release. It'll have a Premium preview
period, then will go general access.

B) My "Secret Project" Premium hunting ground. I still fully intend
to complete this project, and the vast majority of the difficult
stuff is already done or mostly done -- such as the new critters.
I'll let you in on some aspects: It'll fill one of the 'gaps'
in hunting areas in the game; It'll include both new and familiar
critters; It's more than just your typical hunting ground, and
will have many a secret; And it'll be split into both general
access and Premium-only hunting 'sections.' I think you're all
going to enjoy this place.

And though it isn't a hunting ground...

C) Premium Contests - June and July/August Design a Room Contest.
I'll still be announcing the winners and dishing out prizes for
these contests, but this will be the last one I run.

I've been very pleased with the fun we've had in the Premium program,
and I know I'll be seeing many of you in the ranks of the Moon
Mage guild. :)
