Hello,
Informing everyone about the following changes:

#1
As of next boot, newbies will get a hint if they try to 'open' a gate when they
should be using 'say open' / 'call' instead.

#2
Waba has created and posted a MUME advertisement posts on TMC and on
mudconnector, and Tempuntekijä has provided a nice Arda map for these MUME/OFR
announcements. See:

http://www.topmudsites.com/forums/mud-announcements/7143-mume-old-forest-road-through-mirkwood.html
Everyone is encouraged to logon to these sites and post your comments about the
game. More comments there are more attractive impression one gets.

#3
Some old legacy bugs related to group-climbing with a rope have been fixed.
Informing everyone that these things do not "work" anymore:
You will not be saved by someone with a rope at the bottom of a climb.
You will no longer be helped when climbing while following someone with a rope
who's too busy to assist you.

#4
Pouring oil on webs on Old Forest Road: It is now possible to pour from flasks
that are equipped in addition of those that are carried. The flask's weight is
now updated correctly.

Best regards, the management
