In a freak industrial accident Tyrian fell (or was pushed) into a grinder at the Arelium Meat Packing Co and is no more (read: he got caught abusing a bug and was removed). On an unrelated point, Ugly Joe's restaurant is selling minced meat pies extra cheap today.
msg Why would a level 100 player create a second character, not register it, and not say anything to anyone? Really, I'm not in the mood for this. Nomed takes a 2 week vacation.
BatMUD has now been moved to run on new hardware, the server 'Moonrind' which is a DELL PowerEdge R620 w/ titanium power supplies, 3.30GHz Intel Xeons, 128GB 1600MHz memory, PCIe SSDs (SLC) etc.etc. See "help hardware" for more.
Those who had a shell account on anarxi.st: machine is moving to a different location and will be a VPS from now on. I transferred your stuff to new machine, but DNS zone is not updated yet, so if you wanna keep playing from there, new IP is: 176.56.227.34. Old box got accounts disabled to avoid confusion. Sorry for the inconvenience. ++Favorit
B.A.T. ry has Today placed an order for new server hardware!! The current main server was commissioned in 2008 and it's due time to kill the LAG with some slick new technology again. The new machine has been specified with the one purpose to run BatMUD, powered by industrial grade SLC PCIe-SSD disks, titanium power supplies (redundant), 128GB of 1600MHz RDIMM memory and a plethora of other options; while keeping the game 100% available over the coming years. This investment would not have been possible without Your continued support (help donate). Thank You.
