Welcome to the 28th edition of The Brighter Leek.
Last week saw the launch of our latest quest, The Imposter. We hope everyone enjoyed infiltrating the Administrators gang as much as we did, and that you didn't blow your cover!
The big news in this edition is that we plan to launch the Milestones beta on the week commencing 26th January 2026. All of the graphics, mapping and audio work is complete. There is a small amount of coding work left to be done, but we are on track to complete that in time.
In this edition we also welcome two new team members, Naomi and Nathan, both of whom have joined our content team.

• New activities in many professions.
Bounties for all professions

World events

Dungeons for all professions

• Remixes the profession in a whole new way, adding more options for leveling up.
