   Greetings from the Community Corner!

  With last month's newsletter reaffirming our push towards beta, the community took the opportunity to discuss beta testing. We are encouraged to see our community taking the beta testing of Earthrise very seriously, and look forward to working with everyone when beta is available later this year.

  Instead of focusing on the various threads that are the hot topics on everyone's mind, I'd like to draw some attention instead to some posts you might not have seen.

  For example, two new fantastic ongoing stories have appeared this last month, adding to the abundant collection of art our community has posted. The first by Krista`a, takes a look at upcoming guild Twighlight Guardians, and the second titled "Hell inside Paradise" by laos. Here are a couple short samples below.

  The Director reached underneath the table and pressed a button. A hologram appeared in the middle of the table, showing a woman seated at a desk. She looked up at the Director. "Send him in, please." The woman nodded in an acquiescing way, and the Director cut the hologram off with another touch of the button.

  God only knew what could be created. When you take the ability of having all DNA on Earth in front of you, the energy of the sun through nuclear reactors, and the ability to splice and modify DNA to something not even natural, perhaps, not even God knew what could be created. Things beyond reality were now, reality.

  Lab 2120C, became the first to endure this horror.

We recommend checking it out, and posting any questions you might have in our Question of the Week Thread, which contains lots of posts organized by topic.
