+<center>
+<h1><font color=red>Important Notice</font></h1>
+</center>
+<p>
+Today is a sad day. We were informed not long ago that our previous VM burned down, 
+and with it, the player data. We have already restored most of our services, but 
+our offsite backups were both too old to be restored, as well as the scripts 
+meant to keep an up-to-date offsite backup either stopped working or never worked 
+in first place.
+</p>
+<p>
+Thankfully, this incident happened while we are <b>still on beta</b>. We will be 
+rewriting the offsite backup scripts and updating them. The stable server release 
+schedule has been anticipated, and the release meant for January 2022 might be 
+still this year, possibly in May 2021.
+</p>
+<p>
+We would also like to thank everyone who supported us and decided to stay with us 
+even with the incident. The main server links (<i>server.moubootaurlegends.org</i>, 
+<i>server.tmw2.org</i> and <i>saulc.servegame.com</i>) are now pointing towards 
+the event server we've set for Fires Of Steam event, which is now the Beta server. Newly created accounts will start with level 80 and some gear, as well as 
+bypass equipment restriction, as part of the event, but this starting bonus will 
+not remain for too long, and will likely be gone next week.
+</p>
+<p>
+If you haven't decided yet to play Moubootaur Legends, now might be the best time 
+to do so if you want to start a bit overpowered at the begin.
+</p>
+<center>
+<h1><font color=blue>Compensation Schedules</font></h1>
+</center>
+<p>
+For our old players which decide to remain with us, we'll be handing out 
+Fire Scrolls, the proof of survival of a great fire, to all of them. Please 
+contact staff to obtain these. The limit is one scroll per account.
+</p>
+<p>
+Also, <b>we are capable to do apparent partial restoration</b> for some items, 
+levels, rebirths, job level, crafting levels, etc. - manually. These are not 
+precise, equipments do not include options, and we're relying on good faith of 
+our great community. Abusers trying to gain advantage will forsake the right for 
+this. Keep in mind this is apparent and relies on the data we've collected from 
+screenshots and more; And we won't restore everything so the beta server can 
+still be used for balancing.
+</p>
+<p>
+This procedure is manual, and you'll have to contact a staff. Having screenshots 
+can be handy as this allows us to get more precise values, but they're not 
+required as we have some of our own. 
+</p>
+<p>
+As for money and monster points, all participants will receive 1 million once 
+Fires of Steam event is concluded. With this sudden money reset, some overpriced 
+NPCs (<i>stares at Ihclot and Salohnic</i>) had their prices sanitized.
+</p>
+<p>
+Otherwise, if you prefer, you can wait for the stable server release. We'll keep 
+everyone posted on its ETA!
+</p>
+<p>
+PS. <b>Beta server data cannot be ported to stable server.</b> The stable server 
+will begin from the day after the Monster King layed siege to Hurnscald, which 
+event was concluded roughly three years ago.
+</p>
+<p>
+PPS. The Moubootaur asked to inform he was unaffected by the fire! Only lesser 
+beings like the Monster King are now toast. Lightbringer has also survived. They 
+won't be taken down by a fire, we need real legendary heroes to defeat them!
