... The staff of the Wheel of Time MUD would like to offer our gratitude to Mr Robert Jordan for giving us his official and personal permission to host this game, based on his series. Thanks to a letter received by Flash earlier this week, we will be able to continue to provide free entertainment to our patrons.
A copy of his permission will henceforth be hosted on the website for all to see, currently at http://www.wotmud.org/wotperm2.jpg
