Kitty’s Playground has just posted an Interview with Andrew “Aitvo” Wyatt. Here’s a snip:

Aitvo: John Prichett–he is the man. He is the single reason Trade Wars is still around. Without his constant attention and focus on finishing and debugging the game, it would have died by now. It’s people like John that made it an honor to host Trade Wars. After John I would have to say Cruncher is the second most important person as she has been the lead Beta Tester for a long time, and has worked very hard to assist John.

Cruncher has fired up her beta page once again! Right now there are some new notes and cap files up there for your viewing pleasure. Let’s work on making this game as bug-free as possible. If you’re not already part of the beta team, contact Cruncher and sign up today!

Cruncher will be interviewed tonight on WEJL Radio.

Check out this screen cap from the server. The most people online I’ve ever seen at once. Congrats to Bad Girl and Guardian, their USO Tournament’s popularity is the sole reason for this.

Realm Interactive has launched TRADEWARS.COM! Hopefully we’ll be able to get a good representation of what the game will be like. I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about it in the various forums, etc. the next couple of days. We’ll see what happens…be sure to check it out!

From what I gather from my e-mail this morning is that the USO 2001 has begun successfully last night! Kudos to Bad Girl and Guardian for all of their hard work on this tournament.Updated information from the game can be found at the Official USO Site.

Now if I can only get connected from my home computer to play, I will, heh. 🙂

The Tradewars: Dark Millenium website opened today, giving us a dose of… um… nothing. Basically, the launch consists of Some Screenshots, Some stuff we already knew before, some philosophy, and some stuff that doesn’t work. Still where’s the STUFF that we’ve been wanting this past month? You know, that mystical “Gameplay” stuff?

Realm Interactive is launching TRADEWARS.COM around 7pm EST tonight. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a good representation of what the game will be like. I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about it in the various forums, etc. after the launch. We’ll see what happens…be sure to check it out!

As most of you know by know the USO opening has been moved until tonight at midnight EST. Last night within the first half an hour of the game, things went completely crazy and the game was corrupted beyond repair.Don’t fret however, the game will go on.

If you still cannot reach telnet://thestardock.com, please use telnet://24.24.152.111 instead. The ISP changed the IP address on us last night around 7:30pm Eastern. Augi and I plan on using mucho napalm and cluster bombs to help fix the problem with the ISP.

ALSO, if you are/were having alias or log-in problems last night, make sure you contact Bad Girl and/or myself (it’s best to e-mail us BOTH) TODAY so that things can be fixed before the re-opening tonight. Thank you.

On the eve of the USO tonight, Space Ghost will be doing a radio show starting at 8pm Eastern. Look for the radio station link at Boo! Inc.
