NEWS!

I thought it'd be a good idea to archive all of the news from Tdome2. That way when old players return, they can see what all of the changes have been. As of yet, these don't go back too far in time. The newest changes are at the top .

All game changes have been made by the head imms.

See www.tdome.net/news.html for the complete list.
