The server www.bat.org is down for "maintenance". This affects Batclient startup (also the Realm map function won't be available). There is no schedule for service return yet.

B.A.T. ry is immensely proud to present: BatMUD's 20th Anniversary Gala! Held at one of the nicest venues in Helsinki, Finland; the Restaurant Kaivohuone, on Saturday the 17th of April, 2010!! (aka 17.4.) Registrations will open latest by next week.

To confirm previous announcement, donates will close on Monday, the 8th of February 2010. Unless matters change drastically, donations will open next time in two years time.

Donations will close after next week (unconfirmed, but highly probable).

Balanced Alternative Techniques ry ("B.A.T. ry") has decided to OPEN donations once again for all amounts, without limitation as of Today! Note that playing BatMUD is FREE of charge and you are not obliged to donate, even though the donation funding has ensured the continuation of BatMUD throughout the years. Donations have previously been open during early 2007 and around new year 2005. Please see 'help donate' and 'help donate-text' for more information.

Apologies on behalf of our ISP for the "short" network outages just moments ago; seems whole Nebula was unavailable for quite some time.

Should you still be missing stuff as a result of last crashes (12 Oct) - contact Favorit either by tell, offline tell or mail.

BatMUD (64-bit) was moved under a faster disksystem, thus eliminating the lag bursts. Sorry for the "unnannounced" maintenance-- it took us longer than expected. Thank you for your patience.

In a huge cloud of flatulence, Corto disappears. Where he went, nobody knows. So long, and thanks for all the area... er, fish.

There will be another short maintenance after boot today (hopefully final) which will include some work on our database server. Estimated completion time 45-60 min after boot.
