Yeah... I know I said I was going AFK yesterday
but, I have some good news 
The Architect will be sticking around for a full 24 hours to celebrate the festive period with all of you on the days that it is active right up until the end of the year!
This is the first of a few cool things which will be revealed in this thread over the coming days!
We wish you a very merry Christmas, and a happy New year!
- Your Empire Team
Brave warriors,
As some of you might have already realized, the emperor is in more and more of a festive mood. Themed events all over the Empire and attractive offers for everyone to participate in the festivities.
But not only will the emperor celebrate the coming days with his family and royal court, your Community team is following suit. Our Community Managers, as well as our Board team, will have some days off to enjoy the holiday season. But this does not mean there is no one here taking care of you throughout the rest of the year. As mentioned before, your Community team will spend some time with their families and of course, you belong to it as the Empire family! So, even during the festive period, there will be someone here for you but less frequently than usual. Your whole Community Team will be back at the beginning of January, starting a new ride into an exciting new adventure in 2018.
Of course, not only the Community but also our Customer Support team will be back with full force in 2018. Which also means, the processing of tickets by our remaining agents will be slowed down and occasionally delayed throughout the rest of 2017. Apologies for the circumstances caused by this and thank you for your understanding.
But let's get back to the good news now! Since we are one huge Empire family, we want to surprise you with a respective holiday gift which will contain the following:
80 Veteran Composite Bowmen
80 Deathly horrors
80 Demon horrors
5 Fast Travel Feathers
1 VIP point (for tracking reasons)
On top of that, you will get a Ruby Doubler, which can be used to double the value of your next purchase!
Both will be sent out on December 24th, 10 am CET and will be claimable until December 26th, 10 am CET.
Please accept this package as an appreciation for this really exciting Empire Year 2017, full of ups and downs and you were always part of it. Without you this year would not have been such a great adventure for all of us! We can't wait for 2018...amazing things are coming...ROOOOAR!

Your Empire Family
