That is - EN World is on the new server, but there are still issues and wrinkles to iron out. We'll be keeping a close eye on site speed over the next week or so in order to judge how beneficial this has been. Plus, of course, we hit 100,000 members yesterday. That's two fairly significant simultaneous milestones for EN World! This new server means our costs are going up, so if you've been thinking about subscribing, this New Year would be a <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/payments.php" target="_blank">great time to do so</a>! Thanks to all our current subscribers without whom this upgrade would not have been possible. Plus it's a great deal - you get upwards of 20 PDFs per month, you get access to War of the Burning Sky, and it only costs the price of a cup of coffee! The coming year looks to be a great one, with the launch of EN Publishing's new <a href="http://www.enworld.org/index.php?page=zeitgeist" target="_blank">ZEITGEIST</a> campaign saga, and some exciting new columnists. Plus we have some great site features planned, including an awesome Campaign Manager; more on that soon! To celebrate these two major milestones, along with the New Year, for the ENTIRE MONTH OF JANUARY we are holding a massive <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/index.php?filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=87" target="_blank">$1 MILESTONE SALE</a>. What this means is that all EN Publishing PDFs can be bought for only $1 for the entire month of January. You can <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/index.php?filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=87" target="_blank">grab 'em from RPGNow</a> - stock up on new 4E stuff, or older 3.5 stuff. This includes bestselling titles, adventure paths, props and accessories, and more!  [title]ENnies Interviews[/title]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/pathfinder.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":pf:" title="Pathfinder    :pf:" data-shortname=":pf:" /> Have you been following the ENnies series of interviews with game publishers?
