New hardware for BatMUD
Balanced Alternative Techniques ry ("B.A.T. ry") continues to invest in the growth and continuous development of BatMUD. Inclusive to the upkeep of a lasting progress is renewing the core services' hardware in appropriate cycles, which includes such as renewal of hardware support agreements on critical services.
The newest BatMUD operating server now (in production since Thursday the 24th of April, 2008) runs some of the game's core services. The transition happened incredibly successfully, while new technology (Solid State Disk) was taken into use on appropriate portions (due to a demand for high random reads). The initial feedback and response from players has been encouraging, BatMUD now features less "game lag" increasing the overall playability.
