Necromancer's Hard Drive just opened last Wednesday (February 14th). Here is some information I received from Andrew Bubb, the server administrator:
>There are currently two games running, node size is set very high right now, I'm still waiting to see what my system can handle. The first game is 20K slightly modified, with a new planet design. Unlimited turns and 5 hour time limit. It's somewhat of a super-sized game. A style that I've come across, and have enjoyed in the past few months of playing IP based TW.
The second game is a MBBS game of 5000 sectors based on what I remember were pretty much standard settings locally. 1000 turns, fairly convoluted universe, no time limit, standard starting point for figs, creds, etc. Advanced alien/ferrengi. Starts out 120 days ahead.
*Both games were banged on 2/14/2001"*

Kitty Moon interviewed Aitvo over the weekend. You can view the interview [**here**](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://playground.homeip.net/interview.shtml). Very well done and interesting reading. :)If you didn't already know, Aitvo is part of the Home Sector/Stardock BBS staff as well. I'm working on putting a staff page up on the site in the near future.
Lunix Guy Gets Interviewed

[Kitty's Playground](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://playground.homeip.net/) has just posted an with Andrew "Aitvo" Wyatt. Here's a snip:
Kitty Moon: In your opinion, what one thing or person has affected Trade Wars the most in a positive way?
Aitvo: John Prichett--he is the man. He is the single reason Trade Wars is still around. Without his constant attention and focus on finishing and debugging the game, it would have died by now. It's people like John that made it an honor to host Trade Wars. After John I would have to say Cruncher is the second most important person as she has been the lead Beta Tester for a long time, and has worked very hard to assist John.

Wait, You Mean the Site Launches TODAY?
by Mana Knight on 2001-02-15 | Categories: TradeWars.org, TradeWars News
The [Tradewars: Dark Millenium](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.tradewars.com/) website opened today, giving us a dose of... um... nothing. Basically, the launch consists of Some [Screenshots](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.tradewars.com/screenshots.htm), Some stuff we already knew before, some [philosophy](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.tradewars.com/story.htm), and some [stuff that doesn't work.](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.tradewars.com/register.htm) Still where's the STUFF that we've been wanting this past month? You know, that mystical "Gameplay" stuff?
