2012 was a big year for IC, in that some very important changes happened with regard to our development team and processes, changes which are setting the stage for even bigger things to come in 2013.  I won't get into the nerdy details but suffice to say Stefan has been doing a fantastic job all around and the progress we've seen in 2012 really was thanks to not only his hard work but also his support to the rest of us on the dev team in our efforts to improve the game.  Thanks Stefan!

Of course, we also have our great Mod team to thank for yet another year of dedication.  Believe me, moderating this game is no easy task and our team has done an incredible job keeping the game running smoothly as well as helping out the players when needed.  We can't forget about our Forum Moderators either; taking the responsibility of keeping the forum environment a comfortable one is something I think we can all be thankful for.  Thanks Mods and F-Mods!

Lastly, and most importantly, we would like to say "Thank you." to all of our wonderful players as we welcome in 2013.  Thanks for playing, thanks for posting in the forums, thanks for chatting, and really thanks for keeping the spirit of IC alive and well.  We have a truly awesome community here and at the end of the day this is all thanks to you: the players.  We're all looking forward to another year of sharing the IC experience.  It's been a pleasure and there simply is no other community out there like ours.  You guys are great!

Happy New Year!
