Hi Guys,

Planet Arkadia's latest trailer is out! I'd like to thank all of you who have put in your precious time and effort to be my actors. Without you, making this video would not be possible.

I hope you enjoyed the video filming sessions with me and more importantly you are pleased with the final production.

With the new player experience up and the trailer done, Planet Arkadia will start its first major marketing campaign in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
Cyrus

Planet Arkadia had its first wave of shop booths introduced in the recent update. We have received a lot of positive feedback as well as many inquires on when they would be put on auction. I'm happy to let you know that the wait is finally over!

• Shop booths for sale this round are all located at Celeste Quarry.
• Each shop booth has 20 item points.
• All six shop booth deeds will be placed on the auction by the 3rd of December 2011.
• Two shop booth deeds will be placed on the auction approximately every 4 to 6 hours.
• Auction on the deeds will be placed for 7 days.
• Starting bid for the shop booth deeds will be 1 PED each.
• There will be no buyout bid.

Good luck with the bidding and I look forward to meet up with you first few property owners in Planet Arkadia.

Cheers,
Cyrus

Arkadians,

In August, we asked for your inspiration in developing an official Arkadian flag here.

There were many entries that we loved and the team had a difficult time choosing the winner. We would like to make a special mention of some entrants whose ideas were difficult to say no to. Those colonists were endy endy evour, Laha, Baradhur and Atlan Leticron and have each been given 3 months of Gold Membership.

It has been a few weeks since the closing date of this competition and after several discussions, we finally made a decision. Many of you referred to the symbolic power of red, from which we arrived at the following symbolism:

The red horizon below the symbol of Arkadia reminds us that the soil our colony stands on today is soaked with human blood spilled at Oratan hands. In the months following the Liberation Fleet landing, before the Revival network was set up by Fleet Arkadia, we lost the lives of those brave soldiers and civilians forever.

I am reminded of Rebecca at 8 Coins in March 3008: "‘We’ve all lost friends to the Oratan, Commodore. Anything I can do to help avenge them is fine by me."

With that in mind, I'm happy to present to you the Official Flag of Planet Arkadia!


Congratulations to Symulakron on having your design chosen!

At this stage, it is not being used in its flag shape in-world, however it will be utilised in banner format at Celeste Harbour after the next Planet Arkadia patch. Here is a sneak preview!


Symulakron's winning design will be rewarded with Gold Membership to the forum for a whole year. Awesome work!

Thank you to all entrants for taking the time and effort to come up with your designs. You will each be awarded with 200 reputation points! Those receiving this award are, in order of appearance:

• Aura Lily

Commodore Toán Harvir played again the security footage from the IFN Weapons Range. It had been recorded on the 2nd October 3007, the day Captain Chiharo had settled for the Herman ASI-50 (L).

Blueprints and exclusive replication rights for the IFN or its delegates.

That’s how it was meant to work.

It was the same as what had been arranged with all the other suppliers at Lorika Tek, PTech, Herman Industries, MAKO and the IFN’s own Gyro FAP team.

What hadn’t been addressed was the rate at which the blueprints would become available in normal manufacturing to the colonists. Harvir knew the blueprints of this specific equipment needed to come up a much higher percentage of the time, at least for the short term.

He didn't know how long it would take for things to start running smoothly, but the situation could do with a boost.

It was time to make a few calls.

The Scavenger Hunt (Player Event) started by Raven Raven Valicur will see its finale today. Today's item drops include Diamonds, Emeralds, Garnets, and Amethysts, so don't miss out on this!

Arkadia Studios would like to thank everyone who has helped out and so generously donated/dropped their own items in the past 30 days. Thumbs up for the effort!
