B.A.T. ry has Today ordered new server hardware for running BatMUD. The new machine will be accompanied with e.g. double the amount of processor cache, all-flash storage and it enables actual BatMUD game server (the virtual machine) to be run fully inside RAM chips (as an in-memory operation).
The deadline for Boatcon'16 registrations is 06.05.2016 12:00 GMT+2. After that, it MIGHT be possible, but by no means certain, that you can register late.
