Announcements / Minor change for the Forums/Website
« on: March 12, 2018, 09:11:51 pm »
I've added SSL certificates for the website/forums. Honestly, the forums ought to have had one all along, and at least Google will penalize a sites score while searching for not being in https anymore. 

I am using Let's Encrypt, which is a free Certificate signing authority.

Hello Everyone,
I've got some exciting news, after a few months of being back as a player,
we have brought Toroid on to the Immortal Staff of AU. He is doing some
Coding as well as helping with day to day Immortal duties, including restrings
and reforges. We will hold welcome back quest some time in the near future.

Thanks

Announcements / New server.
« on: August 03, 2014, 03:56:54 pm »
Hello Everyone,
I am glad to announce we've moved to a new server. This is due to an unforeseen performance issue on our last one, For some reason we were seeing massive delays being able to read or write to disk on that server.  this lead to us having major crash/lag issues with the MUD as well as performance issues on our forums and website. While theses issues were from forces beyond our control I'd like to apologies and thank our players and staff for bearing with them as long as they had to.

Thanks
Markov

Announcements / Crashes/Wizlock yesterday
« on: April 18, 2013, 05:36:34 pm »
Ok guys,
Sorry for the instability last night, While we had weeks of testing this code on our Development server it seems our actual game server really didn't like some of the updates to the movement code. I Rolled back relativity quickly last night at work, but forgot to unwizlock the MUD till I got home. I don't believe anything got corrupted during the crashes.

We've also got a new back end for Movement and PK, as well as a new Warrior skill in this latest batch of updates.

Announcements / A few points I need to make
« on: August 02, 2012, 05:37:07 pm »
Hey folks a few things here,
I appreciate all of your making time to play AU, and contribute to it's community.
I have a few points to make, some are going to come off harsh. Please bare with me.

First off I am sick of the US vs. THEM mentality that's been forming, the staff has
nothing against the players, nor are we just sitting idly by trying to let the mud
stagnate. We are all one community, but this does not mean everyone's pet ideas/projects
get done.

Secondly, respect. We need to stay respectful on the forums and channels. If not you will
loose your channels/rights to the forums. I am frankly tired of people being trolls (the
Internet variety not the river ones).

Third, if you have a problem w/ someone come to me w/ it. I don't like hearing something like
X staff member say Y 3 months ago, and I stopped playing for a while. Or A player said Q and
I am not telling you what player it was, but I am really upset.

Lastly, if you feel you can run a MUD better check out help NEWMUD, and feel free to try.

Please remember we're all trying to avoid burnout, there is a lot you guys don't see behind the
scenes we've got many projects, including some player ideas, or modified ideas. This is not even
counting the Builders work going on on the build MUD. We all want AU to succeed, we jsut sometimes
have differing visions on how to get there.

[  12] Markov: New Flash Client
Date:   Thu May 10 00:27:55 2012
To:     all
===========================================================================
Greetings everyone!
We've now got our own hosted flash client at http://www.tharel.net/FMud/FMud2.html
This new client will help out a few ways, first off it's hosted on the same server as
AU, secondly it will allow us to track players better, not more worry of blanket bans on
the flash client when someone has been acting up on it
