    Can any Arkadia officials confirm that?

    With all these rumors about opening space on Thursday I just want to be sure that these two events will not be combined or there will be no other delays because of MA

    As far as I know, it's a go for Tuesday with the Arkadia launch ... I talked with Dave earlier, but I'm sure either he or one of the other staff can certainly verify that for you. :)

    We are still on track for a launch on the 24th May. As you all know there is always a chance that something comes up to cause a delay, however it's looking good so far. If anything changes you can be sure we'll communicate it quickly.

    As for timing of the launch, if I had to guess I would say afternoon Swedish time - i.e. the process won't be started until morning Swedish time at the earliest and usually takes some hours to do.

    And they WILL. :)

    It's time the bar was set higher, and I think Dave and his A-Team are doing just that.

    well I tested a remote desktop app on my phone yesterday and got that to work. This means I can start the update process from my phone when I'm still at work and can start playing as soon as I get home. CAN'T WAIT !!!!

    thanks for confirming that. It's been a while since the last post on that topic I think. So good to know all is still in order. I wish you best of luck for the launch process.

    I can't give you an exact number, however I do understand your desire to have an idea of the size. For someone who has Entropia Universe already installed, the addition of Planet Arkadia should add around 1 GIG (probably less).

    If there is any long delay I think there will be a series of popping sounds around the world as a number of us burst. Must.... stay.... calm.... :)

    Thank you very much David for the information regarding launch! I may be able to get a few more hours sleep than I originally thought on Tuesday :)

    EDIT:


    That's great news! I won't max out my usage for the internet for the month (again) :D

    Wish I hung round these forums alot more..

    Aussie Entropians are looking forward to heading on up :)
    I personally would prefer a 31st launch as that way you guys get some breathing space.

    Rest assured patience is something we should all be acustomed to!

    hopefully I can wire my computer together close to launch so i don't miss any of the fun,
    Really looking foward to staying awhile.
