SUBSPACE UPDATE -

Lots of stuff in the works. We are just concluding deals with various partners the upshot of which is that billing for Subspace will almost certainly not happen till July we are still assuming a $10 a month or $1 a day scheme and a box version that will include several months play built in. However in the interim there will be lots more testing to do.

2 relationships we can talk about...

Our good friends at PRIMENET are now hosting our Arizona server and hopefully we will be expanding that relationship to bring you more servers around the world very soon. Primenet gives excellent internet service and we recommend them to any business considering large bandwidth.

Also a big thank you to PEPSI for their support of Subspace. We highly recommend visiting their web site at www.pepsi.com, nowadays I don’t drink anything but Pepsi {chugs another can} 8)

Expect version 1.25 very soon and also our server changes are almost complete so outages should be going away this weekend (we hope).

Big thanks to all our players, hope you are still having fun and if you are not then you will have fun with 125, if you don’t then your fun gland is probably broken and you ought to have it replaced.

Later,

SubSpace Team
