+
+{b}ManaPlus Self-Fork Release{/b}
+
+By popular demand, Jak1's official ManaPlus fork will now be provided by default
+on our Downloads page. {link:https://themanaworld.org/downloads}
+
+It has only a few improvements over the original ManaPlus.
+You're not required to use it, but it is a good idea if you plan playing in...
+
+{b}TMW Evolved Public Beta{/b}
+
+The Mana World Development Team has a surprise for all of you.
+
+We have decided to deprecate tmwAthena definitely. Instructions for building TMWA
+servers were already removed from the wiki; Other tmwa sections will soon follow.
+
+We have begun a side-project, dubbed TMW Evolved (working name "The Mess World").
+It contains all TMW Legacy data, as faithfully as possible, but in the new, modern
+Evol2 servers. It has new bugs which needs to be found, reported and fixed.
+
+There is no ETA for when the player data will be transfered from TMW Legacy to
+TMW Evolved and the current tmwa-based server shut down forever.
+
+If you are using the self-fork release, select our test server, opt for using
+"TMW Evolved updates", and then select "TMW Evolved" for world selection.
+
+Official ManaPlus will require a workaround which will be on forums later.
+
+{b}FAQ - How different is Evolved from Legacy?{/b}
+
+TMW Evolved {b}is{/b} TMW Legacy, but in a more modern code. This does have some
+implications, specially with magic. Spells will remain mostly the same, but the
+way to obtain and use them have changed. It also allows stats to go up to 100 and
+max level is 140 instead of 135. Not that we think anyone will reach, anyway.
+
+We're also working on Magic Tier 3 code, which was flat out ruled as impractical
+to be done on TMWA but is not so impossible on Evol2 code. At least that's what
+was on the comments. It is not on the beta yet.
+
+{b}FAQ - What about TMW rEvolt?{/b}
+
+It is not immediately affected by these changes.
+
+For now, please bear with us (and help us!) to make TMW Legacy transition between
+code bases the smoothest possible; And in due time we'll reveal the plan for TMW
+rEvolt and Steam Release.
+
+{b}Unofficial new quests{/b}
+
+To celebrate the end of TMWA and because HoraK volunteered to write them, we have
+added a new quest for the Assassin Gear. As Magic Tier 2 is finally coming to a
+close, HoraK added a nice parting gift for it.
+
+Both new quests will be different on TMW Evolved. For one, because Magic Tier 3.
+For two, because magic in overall has changed.
+
+That's it for today, HAVE FUN!
