News reader bug is known, thank you for reporting, we'll try to fix it ASAP. During the last system crash, mySQL database got a few corruptions, which need to be dealt with. Apologies for the inconvenience.

There was a machine crash yesterday, therefore the game was restored from yesterday's noon boot. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

We're back in save mode. Testing is done, for the time being.

As the brave adventurers cowarded out yesterday thus making out marvellous maintenance plans go poof, we decided to start the maintenance today. Right away. A boot is upcoming in the range of 15-20 minutes, after which all traffic will be redirected to testmud with the new driver. The redirect will stay a minimum of 24 hours, unless something drastic happens.

Planned maintenance for tomorrow is postponed due to long-planned Burgle party. Success to the brave adventurers.

For those of you who were not present after boot yesterday, we had to do some restores. This explains the disparent uptime information and lacking experience.

B.A.T. ry is making arrangements to move servers to a different data center under the same provider, which will result in better connectivity and lower latency (especially for the non-Finnish players). Stay tuned for more information on the Schedule.

To help us test a new driver, you're welcome to try out a NOSAVE mode of BatMUD available at 213.157.69.21 2023

Dralith and Ulath have received a nice promotion for their outstanding work on the stability and bug-freedom of BatMUD. Keep up the good work and congratulations!
