There have been rumours though that the Teamspeak 3 server will be kept open by other volunteers.

Seeing his keen eye for latest news, we would be crazy not to ask him to join MFB. Anyway, we hope you will have a great time here, and more news can be added to MountFanBlade over time thanks to your addition! 26 June 2010 - 11:27 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=177 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=177 We added the cRPG mod for Mount&Blade: Warband to our download server with a small description so you can download it! This is also the first Warband mod we have added, and more follow ofcourse!This mod is relatively new, but is already a great name in the modding scene. Why? Because it has an experience system and you can buy your own items and add them and play on servers with more than 100 people at once? You can find more information in the mod description and of course on the board of the cRPG mod on the TW Forums. 22 June 2010 - 00:32 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=175 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=175 This very useful code makes it able for the modder to allow you to drop your shield somewhere during a battle, and use it as a cover and shoot with a ranged weapon. After that, you can pick it up again, and use it as a normal shield. And since it also can be used for multiplayer, this can be a very nice addition to mods.You can find more information and the codes to implent it, at the original topic at the TW Forum.Credits to Jab for pointing out this great news! 21 June 2010 - 19:36 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=174 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=174 We have added some new modding tools for Mount&Blade and Mount&Blade: Warband to the Utility section of MountFanBlade. These tools will make your Mount&Blade modding a lot easier!We added;- the Modular item Builder- the Pythonic Module Editor- Morgh's Mount&Blade: Warband Mod ToolsWe hope to add some more utilities in the future. Enjoy! 11 June 2010 - 13:47 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=173 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=173 Greetings dear MountFanBlade visitors,My apologies for the late newspost, I was not able to post something up sooner. But I got some interesting news for you all, so I hope you will enjoy it!With the upcoming of Warband, the first clans could not wait of course. So, it is normal for any clan to keep a member roster, which is a list with all members that are in the clan, are listed. This is often a boring and administrative work to do, but some clever forumites of the Taleworlds Forum came with a great solution! They developed a special website on which clans could register and make a clan roster with members that can easily be edited, maintained and used for a good overview of clans and members.The main target was also to create a better overview in one place for clans and their members. Because until then, most information was divided across several forums and websites about the clans. Moreover, there was none other service like this, except the Warbands service of MountFanBlade, but that is not that active anymore.I used this today, and I must admit that this is a great method to list your members and store contact information. There are several features included such as showing the Xfire of the member, the name of TW profile, MSN address, and date of joining etcetera. This is useful for the clan itself and their members and leaders. Because members do not have to register anywhere and it just works with names. On the other hand, the information you publish about your clan and members, is completely open for everyone. So you should be aware of what kind of information you post, such as contact addresses. But being active on the internet, you always have that risk.The service is still in development, so we might more features and additions to the service it self. At least we can give Kittenhuffer and Sovereignity a great thanks for this awesome and moreover useful feature.CALRADIAN REALMS - M&B: Warband Clan Listing - TW TopicCalradian Realms website 3 June 2010 - 15:52 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=171 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=171 More news about the Warband community!

The 22nd Clan managed to get a server online on which 222 players can play! They exclaim that there can play 222 players on this server without lag! They are using such a powerful machine, that they are able to run this server without problems. From my own experience, when there were 102 players playing,the server maintained a good ping and you could play pretty normal with a good ping. You can find their topic here; here. Their server is named 22nd_Battle_Server. Worth checking out!Credits to Jab for pointing out this great news! 10 May 2010 - 20:24 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=168 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=168 Recently the forum of Taleworlds was reorganised by the administration staff of Taleworlds. This was mostly done to create a better overview into the tutorials, coding knowledge and all kind of questions by members. Also with the coming of Warband and it's modding apprentices, the Forge became even less over-viewable and transformed into a small chaotic mess. The administration staff appointed two experienced modders to moderate these boards. The chosen ones which were appointed, are Highelf and Yoshiboy. Their official names are actually Modification Area Moderators, but lets call them MAM's for easiness.The MAM's arranged several sub-boards to create a better view on all knowledge posted there, for the easiness of finding information for the people who want to make mods, edit their games, make models or mess around in module files.You can find the new boards here. So you can see for yourself how they organised it. This promises a whole lot of new mods for Warband and M&B, since this is better organised than they used to have. The MAM's did good on this for the community, because this is way easier to find info and use it as a resource for modding and modelling.So happy modding and modelling to everyone! I bet you can find it now! 6 May 2010 - 12:23 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=166 http://www.mountfanblade.com/index.php?cat=news&id=166 As you can see we didn't update the site a lot lately and we apologize about it.
