10 Years at Artix Entertainment

So Many Puns, Amazing Players, and Potions

Back in 2006, I found the original AdventureQuest, a crazy-weird-punny-fun lunchbreak game and quickly got hooked. Ten years ago, in 2007, while working on my graduate degree and running a literary magazine, I was invited to join the team as a forum moderator and to help run their online e-zine, The Zardian.

Two years later, I traded battling stacks of poetry and prose submissions for an enchanted sword and a stack of potion bottles... moving across the country and work out of the Secret Underground Lab. Fast forward a bit and I found a husband (much love to Rolith, currently a coder on AQ3D), 3 cats, 3 ferrets, and an ever-changing number of fish.

Thank you all for the incredible laughter, puns, dedication, and support -- I wanted a life filled with stories, and thanks to you and the other members of our Artix Entertainment community -- I've gotten just that!

Gifts for you: Deca Blade and DOUBLE server boost

To show my appreciation, please enjoy the free, 0 AC Deca Blade, with art that hearkens back to the styles of an earlier era* - it's got a chance to do the Golden Coin Showers animation and can be found in the Featured April Gear shop in your game menu. ** The server boost has been DOUBLED, and will now last through Tuesday.

* Thanks to Bido for crafting the blade!

** After this Friday, the blade will move to Alina's shop in Battleontown.
