Hello all, heads up that I’m going to be putting in a new version of the server in the next day or two, in order to fix the bug where the game freezes every 6 years or so (monsters stop moving, etc.). This new version has been running on server 102 for the last few days without any problems. There is more risk upgrading 101 because the saved game is much larger, and there’s some chance that the game will need to be rolled back if things go wrong.
I’ll log on to give people warning when the upgrade is happening.

For those that got to the end of this post,
A special event, just for you.
There’s someething waiting for those who step past the ends of Meridian, past the temple buried beneath Marion, past the final level of the Underworld to the edge of the Nexus and the reality of Meridian - something waiting a long time. The gateway is temporarily open to it.
Bring a friend, a torch and a plan…on dying at least once.

I love sitting with Paddock
Drinking my beer
Every night he tells me
I have nothing to fear
The sun sets over the town
The screams I begin to hear
I pretend not to notice
But it pulls me there
The sword I do draw
Place on all my gear
BitchslapPaddock
And then disappear
I enter the cemetery gates
I cry for the yesteryear
Slaughter that what moves
Carve from toe to ear
Bathe myself in their flesh
Prophecy of the Seer
Paddock was right?
Nothing to fear
I returned to Familiars
I like the atmoshphere?
Covered in blood and gore
But what did I care?
There was his ugly mug
With a giant sneer
He bitchslapped me and said
“merry christmas and happy new year”

Strange noises and lights have been reported from the old Abandoned Factory and site of a now closed mine entrance in Jasper at night. Locals stay away from that area now. Probably best to let sleeping dogs lie.

The server has been updated to fix a timer bug. I kept a backup of the game before the update in case things go bad, but so far, so good.
