New Planet Announced - Planet Arkadia

nice find :)

Always nice to see our universe expanding, this might stop some of the doomsday theories...

 

Very good website with excellent content. I loved the video interviews and most importantly a lot of the info that we would be interested in is there without us having to beg for it. Thanks for that, and it's very much appreciated.

Looks like a very interesting planet concept. Love how they are making use of eastern architure which will bring a new refreshing content to games. I once worked as an archaeologist in real life so would love this treasure hunt aspect :)

These planet announcements get better and better. This is by far the best announcement so far imho.

I have to ask Ozi are you Dave Dobson ceo of Planet Arkadia? (if so i asked for interview first - hehe)

 

Looks awesome Ozi, some great talent on board there for sure, best of luck and I look forward to playing archaeologist :)

 

wow another planet

This is fantastic :) Just saw your video on FB! Can't wait

 

very nice,.....................

 

This is quite exciting ... and I couldn't be MORE happy for you Ozi ... and the O-Team of course.

I already signed up at the Arkadia forum and got comfortable. Nice looking forum.

In case any of you are not familiar with Ozi (and his lovely wife Missa), I did a Who's Who profile on them.


And what a great crew you have at the forum Ozi ... awesome choices.

I also want to give a to the E-Team for being on top of things ... you guys are the BEST.


I now understand what you meant by your comment about a week ago or so Ozi, when you said that I might want to update my interview with you guys - not revealing why of course - but I think you're in good hands with Ace, and he'll do a great job. Looking forward to presenting your new adventure on the front page of EP.

Congratulations to you and your design/development team, as well as the forum staff. This is really exciting.

 

A member already And I also added a link to the front page Links :)

 

The E-Team is ever on the job ... this staff never ceases to amaze me ... just awesome!

 

i thought of you Ozi, as soon as i saw the name "arkadia" posted on the other forum, dont know why... good to see.

 

Oh way the website looks great and WOOT a real life communiyt manager THAT MAKES VIDEOS !!!

I am still waiting for that dance event (gothenburg fesitval) of FPC and here we got a new planet already making more professional video's

This might be the Planet Claypso killer .. cant wait till it comes (and see if it indeed becomes cool )

 

I'll be honest: When the website loaded up my initial line of thought was like "how old is that page, 10 years? no wait, it has a twitter button..." So, the first impression was bad.
BUT. and it is indeed a big but. let's have a look at the other planet partner websites:
calypso: fancy, multilingual (even if you dont want it to be, oh, btw, the harbinger is only announced on the english version :D), extensive guides, that dont help much. a little confusing maybe. overall nice looking but they've been around for a couple days longer, so any less would be embarassing ;)
cyrene, my favorite upcoming planet: nonexistent? at least I get a 403 error message anyway...
next island, my 2nd favorite so far: crap. no, really. hope the site gets a redesign - and content - once the planet goes online
Beladcom: no website
planet michael: nothing to see if you dont allow flash. and if a website doesnt have a normal version, it cant convince me to enable flash for it. noscript: rulz. SEE: fail.
rocktropia: also flash only for the most part, but I wanted to see it before I got there. dont see why anyone would start playing after looking at that oO. 3 pages, a login button and links to neverdienews and forum...

and then comes arkadia, sneakily prepared, unexpected,... and... at second look...
wow. an actual game preview website. with info and story and concept art and videos and interview and a youtube chanel and... and... well, it's great. get a redesign and it'll be awesome. you know, fancy buttons instead of those text links
and could anyone tell me why I finished writing this little bit of text just now, considering I first looked at the arkadia website TWO HOURS ago? where'd all the time go?

duh. looks like I'll have to find out how twitter works after all ^^

Does that mean there's fb exclusive content? cause in that case I'd finally bother to get my account unlocked. (yes, I did something very bad: I tried to login while on holiday in another country. facebook decided to block me )

 

Hi Kay, the content isn't FB exclusive, its just the YouTube videos embedded there. You can see them on the website just as easily. Twitter and FB were catered for, for those that use them but if you frequent the forums, i'm sure you won't miss anything. I suspect that EP will grab the RSS Feed from Arkadia as well so if you are around here then i think all your bases will be covered.

 

Looks interesting, it's nice to see a planet being made by players. Now you have the chance to have MA frustrate you on a completely new level :D

Good luck guys :)

Could you tell us more about EU players who are involved and what they're doing?
