Dune III Closing

["Christian Gilmore" <cgilmore@research.att.com>]

Players of Dune III,

The time has come to close Dune III. We have enjoyed a good run, but the admin
team is no longer able to continue the level of excellence we embarked upon
attaining when we began work on the game in early 1997.

The game will officially close at or around 10am EST on Thursday, 20 January
2000. Until then, please continue to log in, role play, and download any
materials you wish to take with you.

I am leaving as an option the possibility of re-opening the game (with the
current db) under the condition that some group of dedicated, directed people
put together an application for restarting the game that includes a plan for
revamping the game from the ground up, keeping those parts these individuals
think were successful, removing those parts they think were not. The plan must
also include how the team intends to structure the division of responsibility
and how they believe that division can be successful. Please send any such
plan directly to dune3@fremen.org.

On a personal note, I am very happy with how the game grew from its infancy,
through its opening, and on to the present. I believe we had a great level of
role-playing quite often, and I believe that the players we had on the whole
were of the highest caliber of individuals. I consider it a privilege to have
had the opportunity to have worked with the admin team through its lifetime
and the faction heads. I will remember Dune III with fondness.

Regards,
Christian / Broncalo
Dune III Admin Team
