Post the New Moon Advert
We've prepared a small advert for the MUD. If you wish to help publicise New Moon and help us attract more players to enjoy the game, please download yourselves this copy of the advert and print it out. Post it to any bulletin or notice boards where you think it might be relevant. But please, ask permission first and don't go posting it up in places it wouldn't be wanted! We'll try to also make up some versions of this advert in a number of formats, such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint etc, for ease of printing.
Give us a link!
We're always looking for ways to publicize the game. So, if you maintain a Web page, whether its a MUD or role-play gaming-related page, or your own personal page perhaps, or anywhere indeed which might be appropriate, please give us a link! If you're a regular player on New Moon or if you're a provider of MUD-related or rpg-related information, we'd be glad to respond in kind with a link to you from these pages. If you're interested, get in touch with Mizerai for further details.

What's New?
As you are probably aware, these pages are constantly expanding as we add more and more information for your enjoyment. New pages or substantial improvements to existing pages will be listed below:
- Mudmeet Page. New links to pages with photos of the recent Mudmeet in Bristol, UK.
Get In Touch With Us Here!
If you would like to get in touch with us, to ask a question, to pass comments and suggestions on the game or these Web pages or if you are experiencing any difficulties please feel free to do so here. SPECIAL NOTE: Should the MUD be unreachable for any reason, please do not use this form or the mail links below to ask why. If you are able to browse the New Moon Web site then it is probably that the game itself has crashed rather than the computer it runs on. There's no point in mailing Raindog about this as he won't know any more than you will. And it's best if you don't mail Bannor either because he'll almost certainly already have been informed about the problem by one of the game's Creators.
