+December 2012 again +

+A new peninsula has magically raised from the depths, +south of Hurnscald. A witch seems to be the source of +this strange phenomenon. +Why is she here, and what does she want? +

+Further on the west, Lora Tay is willing to accept +new challenges to prove once more her skills. +

+December 2012 +

+Santa and his helpers have returned to Santa's residence +near Nivalis to prepare for Christmas. +Among the helpers, the preparations are moving smoothly +as they should. +The reinboos are excited this year since there will be a change +within their team! +But not everything is working out as planned. +

+November 2012 +

+Halloween has passed and several cities celebrated this event. +It seems the farmer Oscar just came back from a long journey +in one of these cities. +Probably he will have exciting things to tell. +

+October 2012 +

+The roadblock to the north east in Argaes was finally lifted +and parts of the road were reconstructed. +But there is still some work left until the connection to Port City is done. +In the Woods you can find a guy who lives alone, seeking seclusion. +Be careful not to disturb him. He is very vicious. +

+The smith's apprentice Peter does good progress in mastering his +handcraft and learned some new techniques. +

+September 2012 +

+Agostine is well known for his magnificent winter clothes, +but he always dreamed of creating something truly exquisite, +something noble... +

+An old veteran has set up camp in the caves below Hurnscald +after a life full of hardship and battle. +He may be old now, but he surely didn't lose his interest +in the art of combat! +

+April/May 2012 +

+Strange and ominous things are going on in Kaizei. +Many people around Nivalis have noticed White and Blue Slimes +around the area, which they have never seen before. +Where do those come from? Are they dangerous? +And why did they show up now? +Rumors say that they originate from the snowy mountains +north-west of Nivalis, where the famous Sage Nikolai +has his residence. +

+March 2012 +

+Two announcements to make: +

+It seems Tulimshar is finally recovering from the impacts +of the great earthquake. +Although the eastern half of the city is still closed, +it has become much more lively, with children playing between the houses, +farmers going back to their fields, reports of increased trade activity. +

+Surely there are lots of tasks for a young adventurer! +

+Near Hurnscald a bunny showed up that looks like an older version +of our well-known Easter Bunny. +But what is he doing there? And where is Easter Bunny? +

+Second, we will be completely dropping support for the old +TMW 0.0.29.1 client soon - unless there is further reason +for delay, in April 2012. +

+February 2012 +

+After all the activity in Nivalis due to the Christmas time, +the townsfolk would like things to be quiet again. +Unfortunately, some strange people have set up their camp +near the woods west of town. +They came from their village high up in the northern snow mountains. +What might have caused them to leave their hunting grounds +and come down to Nivalis? +

+Christmas is coming near and Santa and his helpers are busy +preparing everything for the celebration in Santa's house near Nivalis. +But somehow... everything seems to go wrong. +Bad luck? Or rather - malicious interference? +It looks like someone could use your help. +

+November 2011 +A Rule Correction on "No Botting" +

+Previously, only activity while the user was +away from the keyboard was a bannable offense. +Now, any sort of automated following +(especially, but not only, attack-following) +is also covered. +

+If you know any of the people who left this game +due to the prevalence of bots that were previously +tolerated, please tell them it's time to return. +

+Will Kill Monsters For Food? +

+Recovery from the Great Earthquake is still +very slow throughout the world. The vast +devastation still causes starvation and +a lack of work. A side effect of the Great +Earthquake has been the increasing number of +aggressive monsters and dooms long thought +forgotten. +

+To answer this problem Tulimshar +has issued a call to be spread far and wide: +"If you're hungry, if you need work, if you +are in search of adventure, come to Tulimshar. +Slaying monsters, liberating mines and +defeating the night horrors that terrify even +the most strong willed never paid so well!" +

+Things running on the four day old backups, +restricted to account save info and character +save info for now while we try to get other +databases working. +

+This means no party data or storage data for +now, we'll try to recover that along with +everything else, as we should be able to get +a full saved state from within the past week. +

+The current setup is more to have something +partially up, and so that people know what's +going on while we try to fix things; any +in-game progress made right now will not +persist. +

+Server outage +2010-11-16 +

+Okay, apparently even that won't work right now. +Servers will remain offline until we figure out +what we can do. +
