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 !)
