Repeated intro

Greetings Embers, It has been a LONG time, but we had a lot of changes to make and fix this title. After a lot of back end work we are finally ready to roll out our first major update. Most changes are to the game play mechanics and battle balancing, but we have also added a lot of new content as well. The most obvious change is to the quest log and to our new, improved, and expanded over world. You will start see more regular content coming from here out. We appreciate everyone's patience, and we look forward to bringing a better gaming experience to you. Below are the changes we have made. You will most likely have to start the game over, which we have tried to avoid, but the changes have been too many for most saved games.
