[Coda]

Well, the decision was made due to a number of factors. Most significantly is that the plot we already knew we wanted to do worked out this way; second place to that was the incredible popularity of the battle system last time. So we decided that we have something we know works and we can present it to you guys in a way that should hopefully be interesting and exciting -- and I think we succeeded in that because we had record turnout last night while the story was unfolding. (Not the most simultaneous users, but we held 60+ users on for five hours straight when usually we swing down into the 30s by the end of the night.)
