Hear ye, hear ye! Due to our migration to a new data center, BatMUD will enter NO SAVE mode starting from boot, today. What this means is that the backups generated during boot today will be used in 1-2 days to migrate to the new server. Ever wanted to experiment? Now's your chance :)
Be forewarned, BatMUDs main VM will move to a less-capable server (Ixi) for a few days during next week. This MIGHT cause more lag than usual, but not necessarily. This is a part of our ongoing process of data center relocation.
Balanced Alternative Techniques ry ("B.A.T. ry") announces yet again a new release (v1.102) of it's game client for Windows and Linux platforms on Steam. Please see 'news display batclient 163' for more information on the update.
Ugliness, Floki and Nevermore are never more. Same goes for their secondaries. Wish I had a robot like these guys, but alas, removals are old-fashioned manual work.
Oh what sad times are these when passing ruffians can timerrobot monk reputation while not being present! Oh, completely unrelated, has anyone seen Gemiina? Anyone? I think we'll give it a week and then look again.
