Greetings all stratgy game players.

I represent a company which is under startup, and we are getting ready to launch a multiplayer online starategy game, set in a futuristic setting.

Take control of your own planet, choose strategy or combine them, build structures and Defence Setup, research new technology, form alliances, talk to your friends in your galaxy and take part in large-scale attack plans, all in a universe struggeling for the resources available.

The game we have made will be free for all players, but with banners, so we can pay for our server and internet line. As my father used to say, "There is no such thing as a free game..." Or was it lunch?

Anyway, I have taken it upon me to spread the word on this game while we are waiting for our internet line, domain and server. Now, if a concept such as the one described, and you coudl help us with testing along with other gamers like you, please drop me a mail at [email protected] and I will add you to our mailing list.

Now, I have tried postings in other groups as well, and the first post I posted was taken for spam. However, as we started talking back and forth in those groups, people seemed to realize I am for real. If people wish to knwo more about me, as of proof of my existance, you can all check my homepage at http://home.c2i.net/chrislas and see for yourself that I am from the gaming business and have been in development since 1994. I do not know what to write here to ensure you that I am serious, and not just after peoples e-mail address, so I am not going to try. If any of you who read this think this is spam, please post a message here saying so, and I will try to convince you then. But please belive me, it is hard enough starting up a small company, making a game, without being accused for being a spammer.

With hopes of seeing you in the upcoming game
