I've thought about the creation of this group since  a long time now, but
I never had the time required to lead this project successfully. But when
school was over, I've thought it would be a good idea to start this group
and Moonrise  was founded during a rockin' July night. I gathered some of
my irc friends in the group and the project slowed down for a few months,
but finally after all this time we're there, releasing our first artpack.
It's time for a new era, and the scene will never be the same agin!

As  you already  have understood, the  purpose of Moonrise is  to release
quality  hirez artpacks. I  would like to  make the  things clear at  the
beggining, we won't follow any  release shedule cause we've never planned
to  release a pack each  month, our goal  is quality, not  quantity. Then
don't bother me asking when the new Moonrise pack will be released, we'll
release whenever we want, deal with that.

Well that's all  for now, then go view  the pack, enjoy, and don't forget
that it's just the beggining of a long serie of quality releases.
