Here we are again in this busy time of Planetarion. We all survived the celebrations
of Xmas & New Year and hope you enjoyed them also. But, now is
the time for some major developments in Planetarion history by way of a great new
round and the introduction of some long awaited and wanted
features. 15th JAN 2002 LAUNCH OF NEW ROUND!
http://www.planetarion.com LIMITED FREE SIGNUPS: Considering the great success of last round, transferring into a payment model and
charging for its services, we are happy to announce that we are in
a position to allow limited FREE signups in the next round of Planetarion. There
will of course continue to be paying players who wish the benifits
of galaxy selection (what other limits on free accounts 3mill stop) FOUR RACES: We have developed four new races, which will be introduce this coming round, which
opens for signup on the 15th Jan 2002.The races will have
different research, different ships and styles of playing them, which will introduce
even more strategy, variety on attacks and defence and we
believe a need to work with other players to maximise your combat ability and enjoyment
in the game. 25 UNIQUE SHIPS: An increase in the ships availble for your enjoyment, which is sure to increase strategy,
planning and overall enjoyment of your experaince. NEW ATTACK TYPES: There are numerous rumours about a new attack type, which can bring a whole new political
element into the game, stay tuned. SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS: We have at this time enjoyed 1,703 hours of playing this round and been unable to
provide only 3 hours of those due to some quickly updated patches
installed over the past months, which is without doubt a seriously marked increase
in this service. It is not perfect, which is what we have been
striving to provide, but 99.9% uptime of any real-time online game is a major statement,
which few MMORP games with so many players could ever reach. NEW PORTAL: We are in the process of totally redesigning our Planetarion portal website where
we will improve on previous design and content and have a lot more
sections to interest the community. This will give you the latest announcements,
news on alliances, details of battles going on in the game as well
as interviews, columns, downloads, competitions, player profiles, newsletter, target
finders, just to name a few and is expected to be implemented
just after game begins on www.portal.planetarion.com. We will also provide this
round, totally free hosting for your alliance, to help with
organisation and structuring of your alliances, which will give you a discussion
boards, attack/defence planners and nap managers, amongst other
requested things. PLAY USING MOBILE PHONE: This round has also seen an increase in mobile phone WAP users accessing Planetarion.
With this in mind, we will be increasing the flexibility of
WAP and including a manual SMS system to increase your ability to communicate within
the game. IRC CHAT: Planetarion has strived from being the first MMORP to introduce its own dedicated
IRC network, to providing the best service possible in this ever-
evolving media. We have steadily increase our users on the Planetarion IRC (Internet-relay-chat
http://www.irc.planetarion.com) network, which has
proven to be very useful in organising attacks and defence or just to relax and chat
with new friends that you meet. Every great alliance uses IRC
not only for the quick real-time response times, but to develop a good strong team
of players who have decided to work together to become a winner. AWARDS: In honour to the quality of Planetarion, we received the MPOGD Game of the Month
award in no less than eight occasions since Planetarion began in
February 2000.This is four times more than any other online game has ever received
this award. This includes seven "Game of the Month" awarded in
the past year alone! UPDATES: We expect signups for next round to begin on Tuesday 15th January 2002 @ 12:00cest.
We will focus all our work to meeting this deadline with a great
deal of information on game changes, released occasionally over the coming week so
check out the forums and the portal for more info. We are really
looking forward to the new rounds features and would love to see you enjoying it
with us.
