Hey everyone,

Well, first off, April's just about here, and we've got updates galore for you.* But first, a word about hackers.

We're aware of the recent hacking activity, and will announce and pursue new initiatives to combat this.* We'll be unveiling the details in due time, but we're going to put our foot on the necks of those would ruin others' gameplay, and keep it there.* The BanHammer cometh soon...
*
So, what's new for this month's Update? Well, its called "New Features & New Creatures!", and its so big, we'll have to introduce each section in separate blogs!* First up, let's talk about Family.

Families are your life companions.* They'll always be in your corner, giving their support. Matter of fact, just the other day...


[SIZE=2]"Check this out!" yelped my coworker.* I knew that today I was to be given instructions on a new quest line, but, sadly, no one had told me when.* So it was a bit of a surprise to have a stack of papers fly at my face, but at least I didn't have to wait anymore.

Well knowing me, I hastily skimmed through the pages just to get to the good part.*

I had the fortune of being one of the first to test out the new Family System.* I was to create a family, but it was my discovery that I wasn't able to do this alone, for obvious reasons.* I mean, a family can't really consist of one person, can it? So of course that meant I had to wrangle up a few of the new guys in my department - they'll do anything.* Shortly after, we had the makings of a family - well almost.*

I now had "juniors" that I had to support.* Captain Al had told me that I had to look out for them.* In other words, I had to pull them up by their bootstraps, show 'em the ropes, and be a responsible leader.* The whole time I was thinking, "What's in this for me?!** Why would I ever want to help out a newb?!"

Suddenly, a flood of memories came rushing through my head about my early Maple career.* It's funny, the things my Shadower can afford now makes all the time I spent scrounging for mesos on my Rogue seem downright sad.* Heck, I could barely afford to recharge my throwing stars!* That's when I knew how much the Family System made sense.* If only I had a good leader to help me out every now and then, life would have been so much easier!

After a few days of looking out for my new juniors, I found it incredibly interesting just how much I wanted to see them succeed.* It brings a heart-warming tear to your eye, don't it?*

So what's next?* We grow, as any good family should!
