Happy New Year, @Dark-Core-Revolution!

 As the year turns and a new chapter begins, I want to take a moment to speak directly to all of you — the heart and soul of @Dark-Core-Revolution.

DCR is not just a server.

It’s a journey that began back in 2009. 

Many years. Many versions. Many battles.

And most importantly: many people. 

Some of you have been here since the very beginning.

Some returned after years away.

And many of you joined us for the very first time during this beta phase.

To every single one of you: thank you.

Thank you for playing, testing, reporting bugs, giving feedback, grinding, and believing in this project once again. Your participation in the beta meant everything — it shaped what DCR is today and what it will become tomorrow.

A warm welcome goes out to all new players who have joined us recently.

You are now part of a long legacy, and your story on DCR is only just beginning. 

This relaunch wasn’t easy — rebuilding something with this much history never is.

That’s why I want to give special thanks to Knut, and to everyone who stood by my side, supported me, helped test, helped build, helped think, and helped make @Dark-Core-Revolution real again. This would not exist without you.

What’s next?

Tomorrow we will have a scheduled maintenance, during which we’ll be preparing and launching a New Year Special — something to kick off the year the right way and set the tone for what’s coming in 2026. 

Dark-Core-Revolution has survived for over a decade because of its community.

Because of passion.

Because of persistence.

And this next chapter? It’s just getting started. 

Thank you for walking this path with me. Thank you for keeping the revolution alive.

Happy New Year, and see you in Madrigal.
