New Servers and Billing...
- Posted on November 1st, 2002 - 11:10 by Faustus
We have successfully moved all the DarkSpace servers to our new co-location at Prismnet and activated the new and improved billing system for DarkSpace.



The new co-location offers a far better ping time for most players and the bandwidth pipe is much bigger.



The new billing system is a huge improvement over the previous, offering over 60 different forms of payment through Bibit, our new payment processor. The billing system is now fully integrated into your user profile, no longer requiring a second account to be created for billing purposes. Additionally, administrators now have easy access to your subscription information, allowing them to quickly resolve billing issues.



All subscribers should note that Bibit will appear on their bank statements starting November 1, 2002.

Fleet Forums are now private...
- Posted on October 28th, 2002 - 09:23 by Faustus
All fleet forums are now restricted to members of the fleets only. No other players can now view or post messages to your private fleet forums.

We have changed the rules by which user accounts will be culled starting November 1st. Accounts inactive for more than 90 days, and not subscribed will be deleted only after several email warnings that their account will be removed. Demo and unsubscribed players may keep their accounts intact by just logging into the lobby once per 90 days.

Metaverse Reset...

The Metaverse will be reset when we move the servers to our new co-location on October 31st.
DarkSpace IRC Channel
- Posted on October 22nd, 2002 - 16:38 by Demorian
In light of the coming retail release of DarkSpace, a brand new IRC channel is in place for all DarkSpace users, as well as curious players-to-be, to join in on and have a good time. We will be using this channel to serve as an extension of our GameCQ chat client, and it should be a very similar environment except a little more laid back since we are not directly in the DarkSpace client and environment. Interested?


mIRC (Internet Relay Chat) is an extremely popular and free (for 30 days) chat client with thousands of chat servers spread across the world with equal thousands of channels (rooms) within each. For those interested in getting in to DarkSpace IRC and mIRC, go to mirc.com and download the latest mIRC client. It's totally cost- and bug-free. However, mIRC is a shareware clientand has a trial period. If you would like a freeware client, check out bersirc.com.


If you're interested in joining the channel itself, use the following information to guide you:

- In the mIRC/bersIRC Connect Dialog (if you don't see it, goto File > Options > Connect), click the uppermost drop-down box and click on Gamesnet, then select random east/west server from the next dropbox down, depending on where you are.

- Enter a full name and an email (not necessary to have true information) then fill in a nickname (aka username) and an alternative username in case the first is taken. Now connect to IRC.

- In the main IRC window, after you see all the connecting information scroll by, type in /join #darkspace. You can be in more than one room at once.

- See IRC and Gamesnet help (there is a link in the server connecting information mentioned above) for more detailed IRC commands such as nick registering.


The DarkSpace Staff encourages all players and all those interested in learning about DarkSpace to come join us in our new channel! We look forward to seeing you there.

User Culling...
- Posted on October 22nd, 2002 - 11:29 by Faustus
Beginning on November 1st we will begin culling the user database of inactive accounts. Any account without a paid subscription will be subject to being deleted from the database 90 days after the subscription has ended. Accounts which have never subscribed, will be deleted within 30 days after their creation.

Fleet Culling...
- Posted on October 17th, 2002 - 16:21 by Faustus
The requirements for having a fleet has been changed. The minimum number of members is now 2 instead of 4 and the amount of time to meet these requirements has been increased to 7 days.
Server and Billing Changes
- Posted on October 16th, 2002 - 12:46 by Faustus
We will be performing major server maintence on October 31st 10:00AM CST. All servers will go offline at that time, we anticpate they will be back online by 2:00PM the same day.



The servers are being moved to a new co-location which will provide better bandwidth and ping times for all players. We are also adding serveral new servers as we prepare for the retail release.



The new billing system will go online at this time as we switch from Playnet to our own internal billing system. Our new payment processor, Bibit, will be processing all future subscriptions for DarkSpace.



Bibit will appear on your bank statements instead of Playnet after the 31st of October.
