 ##0 lost on the Manaworld wiki and bugtracker due to
 ##0 briefly running out of hard disk space - not due
 ##0 to a new censorship system, as someone seemed to
-##0 have thought. ;)

-##3 Skill Changes
-##3 2009-10-27
- 
-##0 For simplification and realism purposes, the old
-##0 basic skill has been removed. Emote, trade, and
-##0 party-related abilities are now available in
-##0 three completely new and independent skills. To
-##0 get these new skills, you'll need to find NPCs
-##0 that give them out in Tulimshar. Don't worry,
-##0 this won't affect existing parties, and sitting
-##0 will always be available from now on.
- 
-##3 Undead?
-##3 2009-10-27
- 
-##0 Reports of undead south west of Dimond's Cove
-##0 been pouring in. More later.

-##3 Magic Fixes
-##3 2009-09-15
- 
-##0 The second tier healing spell no longer works on
-##0 yourself, it will still take mana if you try to
-##0 cast it on dead players. We're working to fix
-##0 that. It will halt health regeneration when used.
- 
-##0 Making lifestones now prioritizes bug legs, then
-##0 maggot slime, then the herbs.
- 
-##3 Technical updates
-##3 2009-08-16
- 
-##0 GMs will now have their nicks highlighted in
-##0 newer clients.
- 
-##0 The automatic bans for spam have been
-##0 adjusted. You will no longer be banned for
-##0 trade spam, it will just be ignored by the
-##0 server. Sit spam is now checked for and extra
-##0 packets are ignored.
- 
-##3 Has Magic Returned?
-##3 2009-05-31
- 
-##0 A string of curious incidents have left Hurnscald
-##0 citizens baffled, and raised questions about
-##0 whether magic might have made a come-back in
-##0 our peaceful province.
- 
-##0 Tulimshar healer Elanore reports that a small
-##0 group of novice healers have sought to become
-##0 her apprentices-- for the first time in years.
-##0 Farmer Hinnak, tells us of a mysterious woman
-##0 who reportedly bewitched his garden. Also,
-##0 someone seems to have moved into the
-##0 abandoned hut west of Hurnscald-- repairing it
-##0 over night! Can there be any natural explanation
-##0 for these events? We do ask our readers to keep
-##0 their eyes open!

-##3 Central Tulimshar
-##3 2009-02-11
- 
-##0 Central Tulimshar is now open again. Work
-##0 continues on the rest of the city.
- 
-##3 Rebalancing
-##3 2009-01-19
- 
-##0 The rebalancing done on enigma (our official
-##0 test server) is now on our main server. Work is
-##0 being done on getting the next testing period
-##0 ready. All monsters have been rebalanced and
-##0 the desert especially has different monster
-##0 positions. Monster exp has been reworked as
-##0 well.
- 
-##0 The cotton boots are finally available in
-##0 certain shops. Also, as most of you have already
-##0 seen, hair styles have been reorganized so both
-##0 genders can use all styles. Note that only 0.0.27
-##0 can see them all. Older clients will only see the
-##0 male styles. New hair colors are in the works as
-##0 well.
- 
-##3 Open Testing on Official Test Server
-##3 2009-01-04 through 2009-01-11
- 
-##0 A testing period on enigma (our official test
-##0 server) has started. Experience and drop rates
-##0 are 10 times higher than normal during this
-##0 period. We're testing new monster placement,
-##0 new monster stats, and our new experience
-##0 formula. Use of 0.0.27 for this is encouraged,
-##0 though all currently supported clients are
-##0 welcome. Please direct all feedback to the
-##0 appropriate thread on the forums.
- 
-##0 To participate in this testing, set your server
-##0 to enigma.dy.fi. Enigma shouldn't be used
-##0 between open test periods, as the content
-##0 may be in an unusable state. Characters and
-##0 accounts may be wiped at any time between
-##0 testing periods.
- 
-##3 Monster Mutations and Experience Point Changes
-##3 2008-12-10
- 
-##0 We have rebalanced monster experience points
-##0 and added two new mechanisms to make the
-##0 game more challenging:  monster mutations, by
-##0 which monster attributes (and experience points)
-##0 are slightly modified for each individual
-##0 monster, and increased boni for shared kills:
-##0 killing a monster with a group of fighters now
-##0 yields significantly more experience points than
-##0 killing it alone. To adjust for the latter
-##0 increase, we have reduced base experience points
-##0 for low and medium-level monsters, though we
-##0 expect levelling to be easier overall.

-##3 Mines and weddings!
-##3 2008-10-11
- 
-##0 A new mining operation has started north of
-##0 town. The company's director has stated that
-##0 the mine's output has been sufficient and no
-##0 problems have been encountered.
- 
-##0 A new wedding officiator has been
-##0 commissioned. She has set up shop west of
-##0 town. Many couples are rejoicing that a new
-##0 officiator is in the region.

-##3 Volcano erupted!
-##3 14/09/2008
- 
-##0 A volcano has erupted east of the city, causing
-##0 major damage. Repairs are under way. The guard
-##0 has cautioned that the new beach area that was
-##0 opened up by the rumbling should be explored
-##0 with caution.
- 
-##0 In related news, local alchemists have stated
-##0 that the ash from the eruption is what caused
-##0 many items of clothing to be bleached.

-##3 Strange stones appeared and pass cleared
-##3 15/04/2008
- 
-##0 Strange stones appeared in towns all over The
-##0 Mana World. No one knows how they appeared
-##0 and what they are good for. Can you solve their
-##0 riddle?
- 
-##0 In other news: The pass to the southeast of the
-##0 desert has been cleared and a mountain area
-##0 with a lot of snakes has been discovered behind
-##0 it. Rumors say that an eremite lives in that
-##0 area who is a genius at leatherworks.

-##3 Fast attack bug fixed, gameplay changes
-##3 07/04/2008
- 
-##0 This weekend a fix was applied for the bug that
-##0 allowed you to attack with light-speed with
-##0 several weapons. We understand this changes
-##0 gameplay quite a bit, and as a result the game
-##0 will probably need to be adjusted. The existence
-##0 of this bug has effectively prevented us from
-##0 ever being able to balance the gameplay
-##0 properly.
- 
-##0 Please stay with us and allow us some time to
-##0 make the necessary adjustments. Suggestions are
-##0 welcome!

-##3 Soulless characters deleted and money cut
-##3 21/01/2007
- 
-##0 A long time ago we have allowed characteres to
-##0 sell their soul in order to gain additional
-##0 powers. They were explicitly warned that they
-##0 would be eventually deleted. This time has now
-##0 come.
- 
-##0 In addition, we have cut the fortune of
-##0 anybody who had more than 10.000 GP.
