  • Well spring is in the air here in the UK - I spotted the first baby lambs in the fields and the Daffodils are starting to show their yellow heads!

    I will be graduating from Oxford University before next months Palantiri! Yay me! And will be celebrating in style, well a curry and a bottle of fizzy wine if I'm lucky ;)

    I have been enjoying the company of some of MUMES growing community of blind and partially sighted players some of whom are trying to get together some data to help themselves, and others play more easily. Things like text directions/instructions from, to and for useful places, instructions for quests and such like. If anyone has some of these things that they would like to pass on, please either mume mail me or e-mail me (the address is kelen@elvenrunes.com). I will try to pass it on to those who are gathering it and collating it!

    The Austrian MUME meet was last weekend and those who attended should start to surface soon; please treat them gently as they are likely to have the hangovers from hell! ;P A big well done to Sarinda and Eis for getting it all together and I will try to get some more information out of them for next months edition, although there are some pics up here http://sulev.etf.ee/mume/ and a journal entry in a blog here http://anttix.linuxworld.com/ if anyone wants to check it out!

    Well TTFN guys! See you all next month!

 

  • There will also at some point be a UK MUME meet, just as soon as I get around to arranging this.
  • Anyone who wishes to see their birthday listed, please let me know if so all can celebrate in your getting older and hopefully wiser. Happy Birthday to you all anyway.

  • There have been rumors abound about missing apprentices and horrible experiments being carried out! Anyone wanting to find out more should go to Ost-in-Edhil!
  • Doors in Mume have changed. Those doors needing a key to get in now have an internal latch system, so you can get out again more easily!
  • Shopkeepers will no longer buy items that they can not wield themselves (so evil items can't be sold in good towns and vice versa)
  • Many people have explored the new zones around Isengard, are you one of them? If not go check MUME's latest expansion.
  • If you have any news, events or anything you want to tell the MUMEing world about please feel free to either Mume mail me or e-mail me at kelen@elvenrunes.com!

    • Maia Promotions:Timodeus and Terdamon have both been promoted to Mc! Well done!


    • Levels: So many high levels getting levels this month, seems to have been a top month for it! Well done to Elestir, Lowyn & Nazghul just to name a few!


    • Birthdays: There might have been some...who knows the list seems to have been lost in the ether! Happy Birthday to all of you who are celebrating this month! Hapyy birthday to mine and pCelints daughter, Caitlin, who was 6 a few days ago!
