+##7 Hallowe'en Event
+
+##0 Our special Hallowe'en update is out!
+
+##0 This event brings back some old monsters from the beta releases, but
+##0 it also introduces an angry bat monster named "Crafty".
+##0 We have also reworked many graphics and music from the previous
+##0 Hallowe'en theme with the help of Aeonchild and Eric Matyas.
+
+##0 The event will stay online for 3 weeks, it should be enough time to
+##0 re-visit the island and, who knows... Maybe you'll find a new
+##0 place to explore... ;)
+
+##0 We all wish you a happy Hallowe'en and we hope to see you around!

+##7 Season 1, Episode 4
+
+##0 The Evol Online Project is pleased to announce you the release of
+##0 the new server software!
+##0 First of all, remember to update your server list.
+
+##0 This server includes better support for all the main features of
+##0 Evol. You won't actually see much difference from other Beta
+##0 releases, but we still need your help to assure that the current
+##0 server build works with our little world while we work on the first
+##0 release.
+
+##0 we will also release most of our current changes on the island and
+##0 some bug fixes which were waiting in queue since the end of the Beta
+##0 Session.
+##0 And yet much more work in progress which should be soon available
+##0 through the Aurora1 release this year!
+
+##9 -- Cheers, Reid and WildX

+
+##7 Season 1, Episode 3!
+
+##0 Greetings to you all, fellow players! Welcome to this new version of
+##0 Evol Online! This third Beta release will maybe be followed by a
+##0 Beta3.1 if bugs are to be discovered, so don't hesitate to tell us
+##0 about anything you dislike in game. Then you may deserve a cookie...
+
+##0 Thanks to Kenny690, we made great progress on sound effects and more
+##0 will come! We also worked very hard on art, we for example added a
+##0 a new hairstyle, weapons are now visible, lots of icons were remade,
+##0 etc... Furthermore, new unit names got introduced such as Esperin
+##0 for the in-game currency or Florin as weight value. 
+
+##0 Last but not least, we did an incredible work on balancing the game,
+##0 this took us most of our time thus we think it'll bring a new game
+##0 experience to this adventure. We hope you'll enjoy this new version
+##0 of Evol Online, and remember, cookies are a source of life.
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+##7 Get ready for summer!
+
+##0 Fellow players, we are pleased to inform you that during this year,
+##0 all of us worked hard on this project and also in real life, thus
+##0 most of our developers and contributors graduated! Congratulations
+##0 to all of them!
+
+##0 The change of license from GPLv2 to CC BY-SA 3.0 has made great
+##0 progress too! There are very few graphics left that are still GPLv2
+##0 and we're doing our best to get rid of these as soon as possible.
+
+##0 On top of that, we also continued working on our new website, we
+##0 hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do. Don't forget to register on
+##0 our forums too!
+
+##0 The Beta3 is coming very soon, so if you want a very special cookie,
+##0 please come and help us translate the last few sentences left.
+
+##0 On the ManaPlus development side, we are proud to announce the
+##0 release of that client on Debian and Ubuntu 13.10. Note that
+##0 http://manaplus.org/ is finally out too!
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+
+##7 Spring time everybody!
+
+##0 Beta2.1 was a great success, more than what we thought it would be.
+##0 We are proud of this release and of the players too! Your bug
+##0 reports helped us a lot, as well as your feedbacks. Thank you!
+
+##0 We started working on Beta3 even before the launch of Beta2.1
+##0 because much needs to be done. We fixed all known in-game issues
+##0 and improved a lot of old content.
+
+##0 To sump up, Beta3 can be compared as a full balancing release, it'll
+##0 bring new weight and currency measures, which will offer a new game
+##0 experience to you all! We'll let you discover all of the other new
+##0 features and modifications by yourself!
+
+##0 Lastly, we think it is important for you to know that we spend a lot
+##0 of time trying to change our game art's license from GPLv2 to
+##0 CC BY-SA 3.0. This will help us develop much faster in the future.
+
+##0 Beta3 will soon be released, such as its news post!
+
+##9 -- Cheers, Reid.
+##9 March 2013
+
+
+##7 Finally, Beta2.1 is out!
+
+##0 We are proud to announce the launch of Beta2.1 tonight. This
+##0 update brings a lot of bug fixes. We also did a lot of dialogues and
+##0 quest fixes. Translators greatly helped too! Thanks to everyone
+##0 who contributed.
+
+##0 As Evol developers already started working on future releases,
+##0 some improvements, that were not supposed to come in so soon, were
+##0 implemented in this release. We improved and added graphics,
+##0 cleaned databases, added a new indoor sunlight effect. We hope
+##0 you'll like it!
+
+##0 ManaPlus also got improved along with its awesome new Jewelry
+##0 Theme! You can now play Evol Online on Android and Mac OS X,
+##0 enjoy! Special thanks to Socapex for his wonderful work, creating
+##0 the ManaPlus Mac OS X application.
+
+##0 Check out our Facebook and Google+ pages regularly so that you
+##0 don't miss anything. Note that we're already working on the Beta3
+##0 and Aurora1 releases, meaning which releases will come much sooner
+##0 than you think!
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+##7 End of the World, Epic Fail!
+
+##0 We just released Beta2 and we hope you enjoyed all of the cool new
+##0 features it brang! This took us a lot of time to put in place but
+##0 sadly, we will soon need to release a small update to fix several
+##0 bugs.
+
+##0 Some of us also started working on future releases, that is why
+##0 this bug fixing release, called Beta2.1, will be release in a
+##0 month. In addition, we need to let translators do their job, and
+##0 that takes time!
+
+##0 Moreover, ManaPlus never stops getting better, as well as the
+##0 brand new Jewelry Theme, thanks to 4144 and Hal9000! Check it out!
+
+##0 Stay tuned for the Beta2.1 release!
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+##7 Season 1, Episode 2!
+
+##0 After over 10 months of intense work, here is the new version of
+##0 Evol Online! A whole new dynamic has been added to the game,
+##0 everything has been rewritten, rethought and redrew.
+##0 We are proud to present you this Beta2 release!
+
+##0 Along with the story comes new game and client features, and new
+##0 interactions with the environment. This is in fact an entirely new
+##0 gaming experience.
+
+##0 Developers modified the whole game and here are some major
+##0 additions: savepoints, quest window, maps, graphics, etc...
+
+##0 You can check the full list of changes at
+##0 http://wiki.evolonline.org/changelog
+##0 And all of the new contributors at
+##0 http://wiki.evolonline.org/contributors
+

+
+##7 What a scary... I mean... weird development team!
+
+##0 Hey, why did the ship stop?! Was that under Nard's orders? Lets
+##0 find out! Oh no, giant pumpkins overran all of the boat! It seems
+##0 you must get ready for battle. You can sense something very
+##0 powerful and evil at the far bottom of the ship. You should check
+##0 it out. Maybe Bachus, the party spirit, could help you throughout
+##0 this. We hope you'll enjoy this Halloween event.
+
+##0 Once again, Evol Online developers are in a rush. Beta2 takes a
+##0 whole lot longer than they thought but this is of course to avoid
+##0 any kind of issue. Again, a numerous amount of bugs were fixed and
+##0 scripts were mostly all rewritten for a better game experience.
+
+##0 As a lot of dialogues were added and improved for Beta2,
+##0 translations are needed more than ever. Even though some developers
+##0 also work on these, they cannot afford working on all of them.
+
+##0 If you feel like you can help developers in any way, especially for
+##0 translations if you speak english fluently, feel free to contact
+##0 them using Evol Online's IRC developer channel.
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+
+##7 End of summer, beginning of Beta2!
+
+##0 Summer holidays are now over for the Evol Online developers. We are
+##0 proud to announce the arrival of Beta2 soon, even though we
+##0 unfortunately find ourselves currently behind schedule.
+
+##0 However, a lot of efforts were made to create a lot of new content
+##0 and great new tilesets which took for ever to create and fix.
+##0 We are currently fixing bugs and preparing the release. Final
+##0 modifications are being made to give you the best release ever made
+##0 for this project.
+
+##0 Among the new features is a Quest Window that has been added to the
+##0 client. It will help you see your progress in game.
+
+##0 When the Beta2 release will be out, we would like you to promote it
+##0 by simply spreading the word around you. Players will then be aware
+##0 of the news and this may help us expand our community.
+
+##0 As you already now, new contributors are always welcome!
+##0 Translators, artists and even writers are free to contact us for
+##0  more information.
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.

+
+
+##7 Some people just never stop working!
+
+##0 Once more, a lot of work has been done, recently on the consistency
+##0 and quality of the game. A lot of new graphics will be part of the
+##0 next release, Beta2. Interactivity between the player and the game
+##0 was our main goal the past weeks.
+
+##0 This new dynamic and gaming experience will be revealed throughout
+##0 animations full of mysteries. Treasure chests, coconuts and new
+##0 have appeared on a brand new map!
+
+##0 The work on the translations, the repository reorganizations and
+##0 on top of all, the client, were one of our main concerns lately.
+##0 The developers still need a bit of time in order to finish this
+##0 release, thus we thank you for waiting.
+
+##9 -- Regards, Alige.
