Happy Birthday MQ Week Two

Happy Birthday, MQ!  Week Two!

The celebration continues!  Now you can finally ride the Floorivator again!  There is a lot of partying to be revisited, and here's what is NEW this year:

In case you didn't see these already, the Newbatron AnniV3010 models are for sale in the Holiday Shop in Soluna City.  Did you get one yet?  NEW TODAY: a shipment of special Anniversary Mods for your mecha models!  Visit the Holiday Shop in Soluna City and grab yours now!

If you have a Starship, you will be glad to know that when you ride the Floorivator at Tek's Mechs, there is a series of special 3010 Starship items in the shops downstairs! 

Thanks to Minar, we have a 3-year Anniversary Cake!  Also I learned how to make a couple of things - Korin started me off, so I had a couple of simple things ready - and then with many thanks to Warlic (who happens to be an excellent real-life teacher as well as being the Dean in-game) we even have a couple of items in the Nova Gem section!  One of the things he told me how to do, and the other was extra code he added to something I made, to make it more betterer.  He also sent me what he did, so that I can know for next time.  So ... I've been to GEARS and learned things! 

Looking Ahead:

Looking ahead, and speaking of learning things, I have been working with Vivi who has coded up some very nice weapons updates - can't say too much about this just yet, but he is doing excellent work that you will see when the time comes!  Also behind the scenes Lyris has some things up her sleeve.  Korin has been doing insane things for upcoming weeks and everyone has been working hard & not saying much... yet.  I am sworn to secrecy, as is usually the case, but I can tell you that the MQ Team is extremely excited about this season!

HeroMart.... shhhhhh!

HeroMart, our bizarre online ... bazaar... featuring our first Music CD, The NPCs: Critical Hits, and the ChickenCow T-shirt - is being released to the General Public next Wednesday! If you are reading this, you are an insider!  Being a valued insider, you can secretly access the live, working*, store before anyone else! Just go to http://www.heromart.com and click on the blue gem in Robina's necklace. (Artix says: "Shhhh. Secret.") There are even reports of some people being able to place an order successfully already!**
