EntropiaPlanets is pleased to share with you a message from the Planet Toulan team. Mr. Hujeij, the floor is yours! Hello Entropians, My name is Mohammed Hujeij, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Beladcom, the company behind "Planet Toulan". It is an exciting time for us now as Toulan is about to launch, and I'd like to take this opportunity to share our team's excitement and to reach out to the community of fellow Entropians to tell you more about Toulan's story and development. Beladcom is a Jordanian gaming startup with a team of 12 men and women, who created Toulan from scratch into a living virtual destination. Our goal from day one has been to step into the world of MMO game development as an Arabic gaming company within an emerging Arabic Gaming Industry, that is still raw and challenging but full of potentials, and we were able to achieve that goal through our partnership with MindArk to make our dream a virtual reality. As an Arabic gamer I saw the lack and need of High-End MMOs to develop in the MENA region. I'm a vivid believer in PC MMO gaming and its heavy presence in our Arabic target market, and I have also been a huge fan of EU since the days of PE and share the same passion that many of you have for EU's gameplay experience. As our team and myself feel united with gamers from all over the world, we wanted to create and step into a gaming world that is full of excitement and entertainment; away from all of the real world problems and conflicts. All of this has been the main drive towards Toulan's development. It has been a long journey of development with many lessons, mistakes and unique experiences gained. Today, as we launch Planet Toulan, we are aiming to have it rich in content, variety and feel, and I'll look forward anxiously with our team to know your feedback of Toulan as it is launched. Toulan's story and vision has evolutionized over the years now, and I'm very glad and proud with the result it reached, with Arabian inspiration, Sci-Fi and Fantasy elements spread through the planet's rich history as well as present game time. I'll let the actual gameplay experience and the website www.planettoulan.com tell you more about Toulan's details. Beladcom's team has been working non-stop for a very long time now, to deliver the very best Toulan experience we could create, and we know that our open-world game design and gameplay is never complete and never fully predicted until it has its main element; The Players, who live and experience Toulan's world and drive us to constantly enhance its world. As we launch we expect to have issues and bugs, that we will continuously be ironing out, and we rely heavily on you the community to talk to us directly, either here in the Toulan section of EntropiaPlanets, or on www.ToulanForum.com to get your highly valued feedback and input. Farah, Mahmoud (The English and Arabic Community Managers) and myself will always be listening and looking forward to improve your time on Planet Toulan. I'll leave the floor to your questions and thoughts. Oh by the way..I heard a certain rumor that..people can bring in all their items to Toulan...but due to the radiation of the Nawa energy...no vehicles can operate on the planet's atmosphere...I guess we'll have to wait and see! Thanks! see you in Toulan! Of course here at EntropiaPlanets we wish Planet Toulan and Beladcom all the best, and we hope the planet will become a hit :) Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share your story!

Wishing your planet the best of success, Knowing you have put a lot of hard work into it, including managing the clowns in suits @ MindArk. Don't expect miracles though, this is just the first step of a much harder campaign ahead. Attracting customers being hard enough, retaining them about 5 times harder, well 10 times with MA's incompetence and constant BS! But you will live and let learn in time to come :) All in all, GL, I wish you all the best and success you deserve for the effort and perseverance so far. edit: Took out the lighter note :) Maybe jumping the gun a little too soon with that one.
A hearty welcome to Planet Toulan and staff, and I wish you few hurdles to jump, very small mountains to climb, and immense success with your efforts. Congratulations on the launch. And btw ... congratulations to EP for the scoop.
Welcome Planet Toulan and Team Beladcom! May this become a milestone in the history of our universe. A place where different cultures can meet, talk to and learn from each other. All the best for the launch and a smooth beginning.
My sincerest congratulations for persevering this far Toulan team. I hope your efforts will reward you and us as well. And perhaps even result in a small measure of harmony among peoples divided by the conscious manipulation and greed of evil people on both sides of that divide. May your efforts be blessed for all our sakes.....and some fun! :)
Very nice photos, thanks for posting Tass, looks really interesting ... I'm sure that Obie and I will eventually take the Yamato over there to explore. How exciting for Toulan, I hope that all goes as smoothly as possible.
wow awesome! the pics look very promising. gratulations for the launch, hopefully will be a big sucess for both Toulan & Entropia. ... cant wait to go have a look!
Question this no vehicles is it everwhere? becose if i go there by quad want to be able to get out of there by quad ...
Ahh the Dubai from the Entropia Universe has opened it's doors. Eager to see how this adventure is going to evolve. Gl to the team and have fun all with exploring, watching the streams...
So, the pre-alpha sandbox test is out. (thats at least the look & feel of it) Expect the unexpected, congratulations anyway, but neither the screenshots nor the video made me curious at all. Maybe its just not my (FarCry) scenario. (?) ;) But just because you tried to become a planet-partner, deserves beeing honored here. Its a new world to you. I hope you are able to enjoy it. I hope you are prepared for MindArk. I hope you have an rich investor who doesnt care about $. Good luck Beladcom, good luck ! Maybe you can make it and bring something truly different to this universe. If not, I would feel honored to add you to my blog one day. ;)
