The update from Network Solutions didn't go out for some reason. I eventually re-applied it, and now it seems to be propogating correctly through the Internet. I am working to minimize the outage, but there will almost certainly be at least a small one. News of this move is covered in the Forums, of course, which you should be monitoring :) --Crimson. This is a major bug fix version only, but it does include the improved win32 client, integrated with the main code. It is hoped this server's better connection will alleviate some issues with lag that have surfaced recently. Developers interested in assisting here should 14 Contact me. This was in an agreement in settlement of a dispute over the maintainorship of mangband. Word is slowly spreading about the change of command, and the players seem to be happy, even if some are a bit sad over losing old, favorite characters. I hope it helps ease some of the uncertainty in game play. Most of these items are posted on on the "wishlist" page here. I'll be consolidating them here for ease of reference, and adding a facillity to add them. Users interested in either contributing wishlist items, or helping to add these features should 20 contact me. Many, many thanks go to Alex Dingle, who spent many, many long hours working on the code. With this change, I hope to resume interest in the game, and get it back up to snuff with respect to other popular Multiplayer systems. I have taken over administration of the instance running here, and have started correcting the bugs that created the issue to begin with. Fortunately MAngband is open source and the Tome-M (formerly PernMangband) team has (for a good deal of time now) pretty much completely taken over. If you aren't satisfied with the direction of Tome-M then start your own MAngband or Tome-M variant. But it looks like my development of the game has probably come to an end. It is my hope that this will enable players to better plan their games. Fortunately, Jir has made a complete archive of his old site availiable for download, and so I've added a complete 22 mirror of Jir's old web site site under "documentation". The machine that has so faithfully served the mangband community for the past years decided to retire a bit earlier than we'd hoped, resulting in a good bit of confusion during 6/09/01 to 6/11/01. The site has been moved to a more stable host, and hopefully, things will calm down a bit more now. Many thanks to Gestalt Technologies whose prompt and professional attention to the problem helped avert a major crisis.
