| | | | | | | | Due to a hardware failure of a router at our ISP we lost all DarkSpace servers beginnning yesterday at around 2:00PM CST. We moved all the servers to a new co-location; now the servers are all back up and running at their new home. |
| | | |
| | | | | | |
The prize for first place is 3 months of free play time, second place receives 2 months, and all other places receive 1 month of free play time. The playtime will be awarded upon release of DarkSpace.
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all the participants for creating great websites!

| | | | | | | | At approximately 15:50 EST, December 2, the noble forces of the ICC eradicated the last UGTO presence on the planets of the sol system. This system was the last holdout of the decadent UGTO, ripe for liberation by the ICC. With the final revolt of Mercury against their UGTO oppressors, the entire metaverse is controlled by the ICC. This will usher in a new golden age of prosperity for all of mankind. |

| | | | | | | We're are getting the new release servers online for testing the billing and rights systems. Before release, all players can join the official Palestar green servers for testing before release.
