I'd like to thank everyone who participated in our extraordinarily successful alpha testing weekend. The personal enjoyment I derived and sense of satisfaction was very high, and I was delighted with the high RP-quality of everyone who was involved.

For this next week, the server will be down a lot more: generally up only very intermittently, or for scheduled events. There's a lot of finishing work we need to do, bugs to stamp out, and so on.

Weekend was good for energizing, but now it's important we stay on task and bring much-needed polish to the project.
