+{title:The Mana News}
+{date:2019-04-17}
+
+Hello to everyone, regardless of gender or race! Yes, I am addressing
+the shy Tritans among us!
+Oh, your dog might also be interested in this.
+
+So our last edition of the newspaper was on {red}March 1st{/red}.
+It was about 45 days ago, so lets do a new post!
+
+Here is the current progress report for the new server:

+
+So while I would love to {red}bore everyone to death{/red}, talking about how
+many placeholders we've added this last period - from adding a hideout on Artis
+(where? It is a secret, of course!) to the fight against the Legion -
+with several bugfixes, bringing Wyara back, adding minimaps to most maps while
+still keeping Rossy's caves a secret, improving several minor things,
+and adding some skills. Because seriously, we are The Mana World. A Mana World
+without magic makes no sense, right?
+
+But the thing is, I can't.
+I know, many have missed Mona's dad's rescue operation. I know, many missed
+the incredible desync which brought 4144 to release ManaPlus 1.9.3.23.
+Throwing stuff in sewers, the Peter quest redesign, and making sandwiches.
+...but I don't have time for that, because in case you just said "Neat, there
+are progress bars on the picture", there are also due dates!
+
+This means, as our (late) TMW birthday gift to the community,
+{red}we decided on a deadline{/red}!
+
+You know, the thing is - not even the developers can wait another year for
+this game to be playable.
+So we decided on a deadline - after lots of drama and bikeshedding on IRC,
+as tradition demands - somewhere between September and October 2019.
+
+So no more time to stop and chat, we have a game to finish if we want to be
+able to call it The Mana World.
+
+Finally, do you know what makes The Mana World, The Mana World? Here is a hint:
+It is not the name. It is not the quests. It is not the graphics. And it is not
+the player data either.
+If you find out, please do not share. :>
