Hackop ascends the wizard ranks from Warlock to Sorcerer due to his ongoing and much appreciated contributions to BatMUD; congratulate him when he logs in!
When an Archwizard asks you to "quit out", they mean actually quit. Yes, that means actually quit the game, as in the new "quit real" syntax. Yes, that means you actually need to read news every once in a while so Archwizards don't yell at you. Yes, that means wizards too. Yes, that means you, Femko!
When an arch says "stop killing that newbie" it means "stop killing that newbie". Asking your friends to kill the newbie and hiring tiger missions on the newbie after being given such a warning is an invitation for disaster. Crx has been given a week to think this matter over.
Tarken received a nifty tweak to his bardic prowess and got banned for robotting. He also hit the jackpot-bonus of ten levelzaps by lying to an Arch. Congratulations!
Batclient v1.61 has been made available. Your client will download patch upon restart. It has been published on the main server and EU-mirror (with U.S. mirror following suit shortly).
