• Axel has reached a well-earned promotion in MUME and became a Vala(Mudller). Now he can focus in MUME on what he does best: programming and coding things. Congratulations! 
• Lehto is going to a road-trip about just the time I'm writing this. He and a bunch of his friends will leave Finland for three weeks, touring about Europe and taking the best out of this summer. Have fun!
• In two days the Czech Mume Meeting will start. Rumours include that quite some people will attend there from Estonia, Sweden, and Netherlands. As for the unfortunate ending of my own vacation, I cannot go there but I will certainly note here about the meeting's progress. I wish you all fun times, and try to visit the meeting next year!
• As most of you know, just last week Tharbad opened a new area for players to explore, and a new transport connecting Grey Havens and Tharbad itself. It seems the city of the lawless creatures and the town of elves have finally buried their bone of contention about trade.
• Ling, who visited Cyprus some time ago, will go back there in August because she fell in love with that country as well as the aura and attitude of it. Besides getting a nice tan, she's also found a new male to interest her in a romantic way.
• Latest Tharbad rumours also say that there was to be held a Black Numenorean wedding there. Many of the Black Shadow Clan members were present, and the to-be-wedded bn's were Bianca and Rza. The wedding itself turned into a bloodbath where the beautiful bride ended up as a bloody corpse. Will the revenge be taken? And will that couple ever get together again? That remains yet to be seen.
• Sardaukar has reached level 51.
