Finally, last night we turned on the switch to launch our youth community AT.LANT.IS.
Everyone who already registered during the beta keeps their accounts, but all the highscores, buddylists, mails and other statistics have been wiped.
It has been some very stressful weeks, and there a lot of things that still need to be ironed out during the next days and weeks. But the most important thing is that we DID launch. Thanks to everyone in Ettlingen, Erfurt and Munich who had to bear with me!
Stay tuned while I watch my ART reports refresh…
After we switched to the maintenance website last Sunday, we just confirmed the launch date:
AT.LANT.IS will open it’s gates again on Friday, August 28, 2009.
Hope to see you there!

Back from my vacation, we are only 24 hours away from the end of the beta phase of AT.LANT.IS.
This sunday, we will close down the website for a few days, to integrate the payment backend and switch to the freemium business model.
I want to thank everybody who registered and played on our platform during the beta – we really appreciate your help.
All beta users will receive a free 3 month premium subscription, starting at the launch day – so if you have not already done so, register now!
startups.yeebase.com features my interview on their landing page today.
Tomorrow Wednesday Aug 5th at 19:30 CEST, we will organize a big stress test to challenge our AT.LANT.IS server infrastructure.
During the test, all items in the shops will be available for only 1 ORI, to encourage lots of item purchases and new avatar renderings at a short timespan.
So, if you always wanted to check out how that golden shark helmet fits you, register now and login tomorrow evening!
(As a side note, all beta users will receive 3 months premium membership for free !)
