Hi all,

Rebirth was a failed experiment that was let to run way too long. I
sincerely apologize for the mess.

Well, the time has come to correct the mistake. The rebirth races were just
seriously downtuned, yes, to normal race level. Minor uptunes might be
considered, as will minor downtunes. You will not "rock" anymore, and for
some reason many of you have not considered to be "rocking" even as it was.
However, the races were better than normal ones in great many things, they
are no longer.

Again, my apologies. The balancing problems for the mud were just too
big for any other solution than this. Rebirth was originally meant to be a
honorable method of retirement, not a way to boost your character. I know that
some of us claimed otherwise, but that was were we went wrong. It makes no
sense to make the mud less interesting for the grand majority by making it
more interesting for a handful of people.

That's it, bring on the hate. You can still rebirth, but it will only buy you
status - not power. Report possible bugs to me. A couple changes will be made
later when I figure out how.
