Elleshar and Ralgar works on CipSoft's list of missing objects. Objects for an upcoming area by Aureus. Knightmare, Conaria, Wastl, Lomaxx, Apoc and many others on unpublished additional work. It is no longer possible to have multiple clients running on the same computer. The server has been moved to a new location, enabling better communication. The names of ignored users may now also include the wildcards '*' (stands for arbitrarily many characters) and '?' (stands for exactly one character). For security reasons, the password will no longer be saved in the preferences; it will be displayed for the last time when you start the new client. A new technique shall reduce the so called screen-bugs.	20001103
