I had really squirreled up the cookie system in the game. If you have a new account or just haven't been able to log into the game, you should be able to know. Sorry about that.

A couple of minor security fixes were installed, and they'll be forcing you to log in again.

Hard to believe it's been almost two years to get here, but here we are at last. 2.0 is launching its beta phase tomorrow! Once the kinks are worked out, it will become open to everybody. Mutant Freaks of Nature 2.0 is a complete rewrite, from scratch, with over 800,000 lines of code, a completely redesigned interface, and several new features.

The new MFoN 2.0 forum didn't have permissions for the Beta Tester group to view the forums, but "Guests" did. It never occurred to me that it might get confused. Beta Testers now have explicit access to that forum and should now be able to see the posts. Sorry about that!

Check out the beginnings of the Mutant Freaks of Nature 2.0 story line.

There is more to come in the next few days.

Check out the new forum on Mutants Freaks of Nature 2.0. We are running this new forum to allow you players the opportunity to contribute to the direction and story of the new game. What makes a great Post Apocalypse web game? Tell us here.

Hey there, you've probably noticed the design change. It's more structural than design, actually. Forums are at forums.atomicmonks.com, and the game will be moved to muties.atomicmonks.com, and we may have a wiki.atomicmonks.com, etc.

I'm still tweaking a few things, but you might run across a problem or two for a little bit.

Note:
For best results, you'll need to log out, then ideally delete your Atomic Monks cookies, then log back in.

I saw a nifty little code thing, and couldn't resist.

Everybody now has an avatar. If you already specified/uploaded one, you still have that one. If you have specified you don't want to see avatars, you still won't. Otherwise you'll get a randomly generated avatar based on your user name. Anybody that's interested in making new graphics for the monsters can holler at me.

Just a word of warning, we're getting hammered by an ice storm here. If you don't hear from us for a few days, that's why.

There is a bug in the Adblock extension that rears its ugly head in FireFox 2.0. When you open a popup window that has JavaScript in it (like the bug reporting window) you will get a JavaScript error because the script isn't being loaded correctly. Adblock must be disabled (requiring a restart of FireFox) to keep from getting errors on popup windows. As of today's update, this is still an issue with Adblock that affects all sites with popups containing JavaScript.

Alternatively, I've noticed that once the window is up, reloading the window seems to make it work correctly, but that's not always an option.
