Behold mortal, for Melemkor Yunxi is now an ArchWizard and will so remain.

'stream' channel has just been added to people who are interested in good MP3 streams with nice music. If you're interested in streams that are available to BatMUD's public or are ran by BatMUD's folks - join the channel. (Please do not spam di.fm or alike things in there, only the streams you run yourself).

BatMUD website (http://www.bat.org/) has been renewed and opened. A huge thanks goes to Gore for resurrecting himself for the project. We can be pretty proud ourselves as we quite much did the unthinkable and pushed this through in just mere weeks (now you know the other reason why your local archwizards have black panda eyes, due to sleep deprivation). Excellent project, now in "release" status: we trust you'll like the outcome! Some enhancements are still underway, but the website should now be fully usable.

Thank you to everyone who has participated. A HUGE warm THANK YOU. We've got enough to get Ashley to Oulu. Your contribution is very much appreciated and your warm thoughts will always be remembered.

if it asks you for name and address - Vladimir Lazarenko, Burg. de Bruinstraat 86, 6953AH, Dieren, NL

If you want to participate in a fundraiser - paypal vlad@lazarenko.net, or wire to IBAN NL28 RABO 0120 5670 59, BIC RABONL2U. Do tell Favorit if you're wiring and how much.

Allright guys and gals. One of our players needs your help. As you all might know, Mariska & Qurp got engaged only a few weeks ago before this sad incident of tonight. Mariska is at this moment in US, whereas Qurp is in Oulu. The ticket from Ashenville to Oulu costs approximately 1300 EUR. I'm calling for your consciousness and compassion and with an initial fund of 200 EUR I aim to raise 1100 EUR more by morning. If you're willing to help, please contact me. Give them the opportunity to say a proper good-bye to each other.

It is with a great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Qurp due to a sudden illness. Over the almost 15 years or so that he has been an integral part of our community, we have come to know him not only as a great mudder but also as a good friend. He will be severely missed.

Please welcome our new Sage - Ulath.

Rebooting completed. Thank you for Your patience and unanimous cooperation!
