+
+As you might have found out we had another restart yesterday.
+
+Most of the changes for this restart are under the hood: this was
+a Server Code release. Meaning the server's software was
+changed but not the content. Hence user-facing changes are minimal,
+but we'll outline below what's relevant.
+
+The restart didn't work as smoothly as expected but we
+are working hard on fixing all the issues which turned up.
+Currently known bugs:
+
+    * Trade only works when being without items equiped.
+
+    * Some warps are at the moment not functional.
+
+{red}If you encounter any more bugs or problems please
+report back immediately. Either contact a GM in game, or post
+on the forums

+
+A big behavioural change has been made to the Login Server
+From now on the login name is case sensitive, this means
+it matters whether you write a capital letter or not.
+{gray}e.g. if you registered an account name Test, and always
+logged in as test, this now no longer works. You have to
+log in as Test.{/gray}
+If you forgot how you originally registered your account,
+and cannot log in, please checkout the forums
+{link:http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17737}.
+
+Please be aware that these code changes were necessary to move
+the game forward. The server was formerly very hard to work on or
+modify. This update goes a long way to fixing that and will allow the
+developers to bring you new and exciting things in the future.
+
+We are very sorry for the inconvenience. We're working as hard as
+we can to fix all issues above.
