Seriously, they put Brentan on the cover when there's two other cool characters in this release?

Today we cover:
- The AQ3D Kickstarter has officially ended with a total of... HOW did we reach $402,768 when we were at $330,000 two days ago!? That means we're getting pets in AQ3D, along with the two secret goals: interactive world effects (similar to the roots in Doomwood/Greenguard) and, a little less importantly but still cool, every single person who contributed will have their name listed in credits! That'll be a long credits roll so I'm guessing it'll just be a button somewhere for those curious. We ALSO unlocked a secret stealth goal... "Player-Voted Emotes!" The things that unfortunately did NOT get unlocked are item trading, player houses, and mounts... you know, mounts, the thing that Cysero said will never ever be in the game?
- That part up there was getting a little too bit so I'm pretending this is separate. Anyway, all the donators SHOULD be getting emails throughout January 4th-8th with a survey that will ask them for their in-game name and all that, along with asking how to contact them if they paid $2,500 or more to create stuff with the team.
- The Frostval LQSes will leave permanently on January 7th next Thursday if not already emptied out, and the Frostval events and Quibble's shop leave next Friday, January 8th. Another Frostval thing that's ended is the Cookie Contest 2015!
- With the end of 2015 comes an update on the server rewrite! They're 90% done with rebuilding the current game, which means they're only about to finish remaking what already exists. This phase should've been done in September, but something like this can't be rushed (as Alina say) and it's taking over 2 months longer! It should only take two weeks or so to finish the remainder of the game, except for the commands which will be more complicated! Hopefully they'll soon be able to start working on NEW stuff! Here's a reminder of what some of it is:
*Friends list "syncing!" I'm not sure what it means, but it may or may not involve fixing the issue of not seeing logins!
*Bank item previews!
*The Buyback Shop: a shop to buy back Rares (if I remember correctly!)
*Rank 10 passive effects on new classes!
*Cross-server chat!
*Guild Cities! I honestly always forget that guilds even exist since they're so unnecessary. Maybe this will fix that!
*And of course, better anti-bot and reporting functionality!
*ALSO, the level cap will be raising soon-ish after Phase 1 of the rewrite is finished!
- On Christmas Eve, players using Chrome that used noisy pets or... a certain very gassy hidden emote... would find that the noise would NEVER STOP! Therefore, as a result of "Infinite Fartmas," all pets and the /fart emote have been silenced until the issue is fixed!
- It's another holiday boost, lasting until Sunday this time!
- Alina has put together a compilation of the "cover" of all 49 releases in 2015, from Karok's attack to... Karok's attack. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXfLi80WcAEs78C.jpg
- To start off another New Year of unoriginal storyline and absolutely no emotions towards any character except hate, the Queen of Monsters has, of course, sent another new monster-guy to attack! The Alliance (which now includes Chaos since the apparently-alive Drakath doesn't seem to like the Queen) must fight yet another war (edit: turns out it wasn't a war, they just lied accidentally this time) against Goregrim's attacking armies, and the New Year's shop this year is very colorful!
