Putting your ship on indefinite cruise is not always a good idea. Things like accidental loss of links, spiteful random tiger pkills, and geing ganked by your own clone could cause your ship to be lost at sea. Also, has anyone seen Hannibal's ship? It was last seen heading east from...more east.

For all the fans of the olympics, channel "sports" is now available.

BatMUD's website (http://www.bat.org/) has been brought up successfully from another server. Please report any anomalities to the administration.

BatMUD's website (http://www.bat.org/) has two failed disks. We are in the process of recovering from the happenstance. The website is down "meanwhile", our pardons for this disturbance.

Heidel was cast into the darkness and then after three minutes he climbed back, once again enpowered and ascended in the path of Wizardhood. Congratulate him for him relentless, neverending contributions to BatMUD realm and lore.

Today 17:30 EET there will be an auction held where a scroll of wishing will be sold. This time, however, it will be a special wishing scroll. Previously we have sold wishing scrolls which worked for no good, but personal benefits. This time, it's your chance to wish for something useful. This will make it possible to create money pools to pay for the scroll and hence even for newbies to participate. You can wish for anything you like that will deliver game improvements (from your point of view) that will affect majority of our playerbase. I.e. you can't wish for a personal item, multibackgroundness and whatnot, but you can wish for a new race (even invite-only, provided you will actually invite people there), guild, some skills or spells, abilities, whatnot. You can restrict the usage of the wish to certain limits, although those limits should not be a list of names. Come, think what you want, participate!

I will handle restored during the day, although I first need to have some extra info from other Arches and I'll be on an off for the day due to work.

Dralith has moved further on in his Wizard carreer. Kudos for his continuous efforts.

Mail system is open again. Nothing should have changed on the outside, but if something bugs, report to Dralith or Favorit.

Ulath can't count. :(
