+##3 Mines and weddings!
+##3 2008-10-11
+ 
+##0 A new mining operation has started north of
+##0 town. The company's director has stated that
+##0 the mine's output has been sufficient and no
+##0 problems have been encountered.
+ 
+##0 A new wedding officiator has been commissioned.
+##0 She has set up shop west of town. Many couples
+##0 are rejoicing that a new officiator is in the
+##0 region.

+##3 Volcano erupted!
+##3 14/09/2008
+ 
+##0 A volcano has erupted east of the city, causing
+##0 major damage. Repairs are under way. The guard
+##0 has cautioned that the new beach area that was
+##0 opened up by the rumbling should be explored
+##0 with caution.
+ 
+##0 In related news, local alchemists have stated
+##0 that the ash from the eruption is what caused
+##0 many items of clothing to be bleached.

+##3 Strange stones appeared and pass cleared
+##3 15/04/2008
+ 
+##0 Strange stones appeared in towns all over The
+##0 Mana World. No one knows how they appeared
+##0 and what they are good for. Can you solve their
+##0 riddle?
+ 
+##0 In other news: The pass to the southeast of the
+##0 desert has been cleared and a mountain area
+##0 with a lot of snakes has been discovered behind
+##0 it. Rumors say that an eremite lives in that
+##0 area who is a genius at leatherworks.

+##3 Fast attack bug fixed, gameplay changes
+##3 07/04/2008
+ 
+##0 This weekend a fix was applied for the bug that
+##0 allowed you to attack with light-speed with
+##0 several weapons. We understand this changes
+##0 gameplay quite a bit, and as a result the game
+##0 will probably need to be adjusted. The existence
+##0 of this bug has effectively prevented us from
+##0 ever being able to balance the gameplay
+##0 properly.
+ 
+##0 Please stay with us and allow us some time to
+##0 make the necessary adjustments. Suggestions are
+##0 welcome!

+##3 Soulless characters deleted and money cut
+##3 21/01/2007
+ 
+##0 A long time ago we have allowed characteres to
+##0 sell their soul in order to gain additional
+##0 powers. They were explicitly warned that they
+##0 would be eventually deleted. This time has now
+##0 come.
+ 
+##0 In addition, we have cut the fortune of
+##0 anybody who had more than 10.000 GP.

+##0 a bit. In the meanwhile feel free to
+##0 contribute to TMW by posting your ideas
