so we start tomorrow without BPs?

judging from this

 

It is still unclear. David must first give his go ahead for tomorrow otherwise it will be the 31st.
Expect some more info on this later today.

 

it's 5:30 pm in Singapore so hopefully we will hear from them soon. It's better to be tomorrow, otherwise MA will release space on Thu and things will get messed up

 

i hope it will be the 31st
i think many med-low level players like me will go to arkadia
those med-low players only a few hundreds of ped in the pocket
so they can't stalk all the loot they got for almost a week
without new bp, the new loot or minerals in arkadia will like crap no crafter or trader will pay much mu for it
without the mu to covering some loss their ped card will drain at a very fast speed, it's not a good condition for med-low players to enjoy the new planet. then they have to return to calypso. come and back cost 80ped is a big amount of ped to med-low players, so they probably will not go to arkadia again, so i hope David can make everything right before launch

 

Hope all gos well the rest of your day and that there is no more hangups for tomorrow. From the sound off it coffee takes up quite a bit of your budget

 

As other have said, fantastic communication ! Makes me even more eager...

 

That would explain things. Hard work and dedication pays off.

It`s amazing what you`ve managed to accomplish with what is, I presume, a relatively small team.

 

Soo it could be possible that we get the content on our PC but won't be able to acess it... what a cruel tease.... lol

 

Seems they are working hard to get it done for Wednesday, hope they all manage a little bit of sleep in there somewhere. Those who recommend waiting until the 31st to launch aren't taking into account the big PR event on Saturday the 28th. From a business perspective I can see full well why Dave would want it up and ready to take all the new players from that weekend into Arkadia instead of any of the other Entropia places to create your account/avi, so I am wishing them all much success in getting it done for Wednesday or any other day this week really.

BPs can certainly arrive a bit later, since any crafters who may loot them will need the mats to use them, which hunters and miners will need some time to collect first. It was never going to be a 100% completed place at launch, they still have to wait for MA to get the instance system in for example, so choices will have to be made along the way, but it seems like they have it much closer to fully functioning than any of the other new planets so far, and as a player I'm happy with that, and the communication makes all the difference in the world to any potential dissatisfaction with things not being ready or perfect.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday

 

I lolled in the office

Glad you can stay humble AND make some good work, David!

TY A LOT for bringing the fire up again in our Colonist's hearts! :hail::hail:
(and agreed: Nespresso FTW!)

 

Couldn't agree more. With all the points made.

 

loving it so far 5 stars for all that we've been allowed to view so far and the communication. Migi flying/teleporting to Arkadia at first minute possible

 

Absolutely, I was thinking about this early today.

Best wishes to a successful launch prior to the big show this weekend!

 

Yep I was thinking about it yesterday...

 

Big PR event? What? Where? Who? I heard nothing. Links or its not true. I'm low level.. and want to see what I can suicide on.

 

If its not online 25th, you guys should upload a video for each delayed day showing the surroundings etc
