How is this year going by so fast? Well, I can't answer that question, but I can tell you all about the August promotion here in Achaea!

Firstly, lessons will be on sale! These might not be live immediately as Tecton is, in his words, "off having a baby". (We all know that it's Val doing the real work!) But they'll be available as soon as he's done pushing, pulling, ice fetching, and handholding as needed.

Secondly, to pair with the lesson sale, we're pleased to announce the incipient completion of a big background overhaul and a new tradeskill! Watch this space over the next few days to find out more!

Thirdly, for every 100 credits you purchase from the website, you'll be additionally rewarded with a Mayan Crown! You'll also get an extra Mayan Crown when you reach tiers of 500, 1000, 1500, and 2 extra Mayan Crowns when you reach 2000 credits purchased.

Head over to www.achaea.com/credits to get your crowns and lessons today!
