Reason why I decided to do this is that now more people are actively involved with events around new year, at least it looks like to me, in comparison to last year events and many things happened in last few months showing that certain hibernation phase (during summer) is over, developers being hired, mop launched, continuous wotlk/cata/mop development (slow or not, they are fixing stuff), side things development, transfers to mop being coded, armory 2.0 being coded, forum reorganization coming...
Its still better that things going on slowly forward, than not going anywhere at all.
So these are my 5 cents to all Molten staff working hard (or soft :P) to make molten-wow best gaming place it could be, to all donors who have helped to keep server alive and so on and so on...
