Trial Colony War Postponed to 13 June 2007

Trial Colony War Postponed to 13 June 2007, Wednesday, 2000hrs-2200hrs (GMT+8)

The very first colony war is an important one since all territories are unoccupied. In light of this, they will be carrying out an even more detailed internal testing for colony war and have decided to postpone the colony war to 13 June 2007, Wednesday, 2000hrs-2200hrs (GMT+8).

During this time, gamers may experience lag issues due to overcrowding in certain colony maps and various activation of skills. Should gamers encounter such issues, it is advised to turn down the graphical detail level of your game client. Doing so might result in a smoother game play experience.

To further ensure that gamers will understand the mechanics of colony war, the first colony war held on 13 June 2007, Wednesday, 2000hrs-2200hrs (GMT+8) will be a trial one. Territories will be reset to unoccupied during server maintenance on 14 June 2007, Thursday.

The First Ever Colony War

The First Colony War is scheduled for June 8, 2007, Friday, 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

So those levels up and fill those factions, and prepare for war..... and hopefully there is minimal LAG so we could all enjoy the colony war
