The first day back to work after a little vacation is always tough. Getting back into the swing of things takes a little effort, and I'd rather be hiking up Mt. Rainier. I'll be putting up some photos later on so you can enjoy some of the views we got to experience.
On another positive note, the CrimeCraft update was released yesterday, and so far, the new patch and content are being well received. Unfortunately, the nightclub feature did not make it into the new patch, although no reason has been given for its omission. The rest is good, though, and from the looks of it, the game population is on the rise. Hurray!
