Project Entropia Phase II Beta Test Update
Preparations target late August start
Gothenburg, Sweden – August 2, 2001 – MindArk AB, the developer of the
ground-breaking Project Entropia virtual world, revealed today that
preparations for Phase II of its beta test are progressing towards a
probable starting date late this month. As previously announced,
approximately 500 new testers will be added that time, joining the
50 who have been participating in the initial phase since May.
At this time, our plan is to send out notices to the selected
applicants by around the middle of this month, most likely during
the week of August 13 to 17,\’e2\’80\’9d said MindArk Marketing Manager Patric
Sundstrom. \’e2\’80\’9cNaturally, we will have to allow some time for their
replies to reach us and for distribution of the Beta II CDs, but we
think this can be done within a reasonable amount of time. We don\’e2\’80\’99t
want to set an exact date until we\’e2\’80\’99re certain, but as of this moment,
our projection is that if all goes well, we will be ready for Phase
II to begin by the end of August.\’e2\’80\’9d
