You know how, when you give a kid a new toy, and they play with it and play with it and play with it until it breaks? Well, Ramjett was playing with Chrysalis and Bastage, the multiplayers, and now they're broken.
To end the stupid rumours - yes, a few players have gotten their characters restored lately. Whether you agree with it or not, I felt that it will be appropriate to do it to everyone who's been asking for one instead of doing it on a "personal favor" basis. As a consequence, we disabled "suicide" command. That should minimize the amount of drunken stubborn accidents. Note, that if you will go on a drunken rampage instead, you'll still be subject to banishment or something like that. If you're removed as a punishment, it's very unlikely you'll get a restore ever again. Thanks for your attention, have a nice day.
The Data Center relocation has been completed Successfully. It will still take some time for the DNS records to start pointing towards to our IP-addresses in the New location. Reconnecting by then will most likely show you a reduction in latency & provide a better network route to the MUD. (try "nslookup bat.org" locally, if it shows an IP of 83.145.249.*)
BatMUD servers will move to a new Data Center on Wednesday, 19th of September. This will cause a maintenance break of approximately three hours during normal lunch hours Finnish time. Due to this change, we expect better connectivity for most players, especially non-europeans.
Kyo and Darol were awarded a few levels for their contributions to BatMUD. Kyo joins the ranks of Adepts, as Darol continues to climb towards the rank of an Augur.
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.
