Tomorrow's color is purple. All rejoice!

And we are back to regular operations, running on the brand new server in the brand new data center. So to simplify: WE ARE IN NORMAL SAVE MODE.

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 :)

We'll do the swap to Ixi (see previous inform) tomorrow after boot. This should not take more than a few minutes extra during boot.

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.

This quarters maintenance will take place on 8th July, starting at boot

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.

New hardware for running BatMUD has been just ordered! As a teaser, listing some of the features for the hardware freaks within us: two (2) DELL PowerEdge R6525 servers w/ 2x AMD EPYC 7F32 CPUs, 16x 16GB RDIMM memory (3200MB/s), PERC H755N controller, 8x 1.6TB Enterprise P5600 NVMes, BOSS-S2 2 M.2 480GB (in RAID-1), dual hot-plug PSU, Intel X710 10GbE etc.etc.
