Due to incorrect MUD startup this afternoon, we have to boot additionaly to ensure that MUD starts up after normal boot tomorrow. I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Once again, to make it clear: There are no reasons to believe we'll be reverting thus far. We're running in SAVE mode. Everything you do will stick, so don't come asking for restores later.

Coming Saturday, September the 19th, there will be a maintenance break starting at boot and lasting about 1-2 hours, where we will perform a driver upgrade, enabling 64-bit. There is a possibility that the things will go haywire, so the day MIGHT turn up to be a no-save day. That being said, I wouldn't go reinc your soul away immediately. If driver proves to be stable we'll just go on running. You have been warned :)

Please don't make me be the Mud Daddy. Kheldor did. He got an early weekend.

BatMUD now has over 40.000 players in its playerbase (after all the purges we've had during the years).

A new poll added about developing Batclient, please give your input whether we should go for it or not (poll 26).

With great sadness I inform that Qazar the Wizard has requested he be removed from wizardhood and return to a life as a mortal. So requested, and done - he continues his life as a mortal by a different name. Many thanks for the many things done for the game.

KepuCon 2009 will be held at House Koivula, in Muhos, Finland on August 21-23 (Fri-Sun). Further details about the event are available by talking to the KepuCon mascot (tell burplefloogah info).

Marvin, coding like a ferret on crack, got a little nudge up the ladder. Congratulations!

Era was promoted within the Wizard ranks for his fearless, and well thought out contributions for BatMUD. Congratulations!
