Balanced Alternative Techniques ry ("B.A.T. ry"), is a self-funded association/organization, officially registered 1994 in Helsinki, Finland. The organization is professionally run by our game designers. It is audited yearly by Chamber of Commerce approved auditors. B.A.T. ry owns the copyrights for BatMUD and its content; and holds registered Trademarks for BatMUD. For the avoidance of doubt, B.A.T. ry is not a non-profit organization.
The main purpose of Balanced Alternative Techniques ry is to support and promote the existence of its games and virtual communities. It is clear that BatMUD couldn't have survived the years or carry out its long-term visions without organized leadership and support, with it's game library alone having grown to a size of 14 million (14 000 000) lines of code (as of 2008). The organization also has more than 46 000 registered support members (2019 figure). |
