|title =  
|article = Several more fixes have been moved live onto testing islands. One important change, not listed in the bugtracker, is a change to overkill and overcrowding. Overkill and overcrowding have been changed to take into account the '''size''' of the combatants. This means that monsters and daimons should receive less of a benefit from overkill against them, and you should be better able to get into combat against them with less overcrowding.

|article = Many recent bug fixes, including all those made within the past approximately 10 days, have been moved over to the stable islands. If you had previously reported a bug and been told that it was fixed, now is a good time to check to verify that it is fixed. Some of the highlights include fixes to secret societies, guilds, and the caravan system. ''(Note: the revision number uploaded was 3417, so any bug marked with that revision or less should now be fixed - {{Usr|Danaris}})''

+
| format=template
|article = Just a reminder that when a bug is marked "Fixed" or "Resolved" on the [[bugtracker]], and reported here, it is not immediately available in game. It will appear first on the testing islands ''([[Far East|FEI]], [[Beluaterra]], and [[Dwilight]])''. After it has been on the testing island, it will eventually be moved over to stable islands. The exact time frame for migrating code to testing, and then to stable is not a fixed period. It may take days, or it may take weeks or months. So please be patient and allow enough time for the code to be updated before reporting the bug again, or reopening that old bug report.

|title = Information About the Recent Network Issues
 
|article = There has recently been a sever issue with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS DNS system] for the battlemaster.org domain. ''(DNS (or Domain Name System) is how your computer figures out what server to contact when you tell it to go to "battlemaster.org".)'' Recent problems have caused pretty much every computer in the world to lose the ability to turn the domain name "battlemaster.org" into an IP address that it can use to contact the server. In response {{Usr|Tom}} paused the game shortly after Friday, October 31st's half turn. ''(The sunset turn change.)'' Tom has reported that the NS records for battlemaster.org has already been fixed. It could take a couple days for the records to propagate through the net. There has been no official word from Tom on how long the game will be paused. Personally, I would guess at least another 24 hours. For future reference, the ways to work around this problem can be found here: [[DNS Solution]].
