For the month of February, every day you log in, you will receive a free
credit!

Also, the artifact bandits have struck again and stolen artifacts from
Trader Bob! Every Wednesday in February, you will find these bandits
hidden around the Basin of Life. If you kill them, they will drop a
random, temporary artifact!

Don't let the cold and snow get you down, because we're running a WINTER
WUNDERLAND DINGBAT SALE through February!

This means that if you purchase credits this month, you could receive
dingbats! See SHOWREWARDS to see how many credits you need to purchase
to net you dingbats (up to a max of 300 dingbats per character).

Dingbats can be used to purchase special artifacts from that irascible
scoundrel called Jeremiah Gryphta or Professor Gargle von Fixit
(currently residing in the Aethership Starhopper) or Pinky Puddleglum.
For more information, see HELP DINGBATS. After you make a credit
purchase, please make sure you type DINGBATS to roll them into your
account.

Who's Pinky Puddleglum, you may ask? She's a gnome merchant who has
recently booked passage on the Starhopper. She currently sells these
fine items:
