Calendar Command, posted on Tue Jan 20 04:30:39 2009
Posted by: Presto
Category: General
In response to a brief talker conversation the other day, the date lookup options for the 'calendar' command has been changed to allow you to specify a year. This will allow you to match real world dates with MUD dates as far back as the Beginning of Time (Hogswatchday AM year 1966) and as far ahead as the next century.

I've added an RSS feed for each of the blogs, because that's kind of cool.

Vote Reminder, posted on Sun Jan 18 11:15:15 2009

Players are the life-blood of any MUD. Discworld is completely free, which means that we don't have the budget of commercial MUDs to advertise or put our name out there. One of the ways in which you as a player can help us is by voting regularly for us on the MUD portal sites.
