Twenty years ago today, Achaea officially opened its doors to the public. That's right folks, our favourite little corner of the internet is now twenty years old, and we think that's a pretty special achievement, well worth celebrating!

To that end, we're going to be partying all weekend and all through the rest of September!

First things first, the winner of week 1's Iron Lottery, winning 1000 credits, is Lyvia!

Don't fret if you've not won, all tickets go forward to the IRE wide lottery, a drawing across all games for 10,000 credits! (See UPCOMING for details on this and other drawings.)


The HAPPYBIRTHDAYACHAEA command is also live! This will be useable once by everyone throughout the month of September and will net you 20 credits, 24 hours of double XP, 24 hours of a critical hit bonus, and an Achaean Birthday card!


Don't toss away that card, you're going to want to keep hold of it!

With this card you'll have the opportunity to engage in a special sort of scavenger hunt!

Written on the birthday card are 20 different things you can do, and if you check off 15 or more of them before the end of September, you'll earn a special reward!

READ CARD To see the list and your progress.
OPEN CARD In various different areas around Achaea to satisfy #19

You cannot complete card listings for other people, and you cannot trade or transfer your card to someone else.


Next weekend we'll be running a Great Hunt! This will be a weekend of double experience, we'll have prize tiers for experience gained during the hunt, there will be credits for everyone who reach certain point thresholds, and the Great Hunt caves will open! See HELP GREATHUNT for details and keep an eye on UPCOMING so you don't miss the start!


Also, keep an ear open for Tharos' dulcet tones! The Herald of Delos, demoted after the end of the Championship games will be hosting egghunts, foozles, and more as the month goes on, all with gold for points and credits for the winner!
