  1. So, is there a schedule/planned date for game accesses for us captains, or is it just whenever you feel the time is right?
    just curious, i ordered my new computer (yes,JUST for eternal crusade, dont judge me) and i can wait to get the game running on it!

    cheers
  2. We just know its summer.
    Captains will have access 1 week prior to other founders.

    They haven't decided when they are ready. They still haven't implemented Plasma yet. Captains will be introduced in waves from purchase date, and after all the capts are in everyone will follow.
  4. It will be Before September 23rd If that helps...

    Seasons are determined by the position of the Earth relative to the sun. There are 4 points of interests, The Vernal Equinox, the Summer Solstice, The Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice. These positions are relative to your location and are determined by whether you're in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

    The Vernal Equiznox is a time around March 2oth, on that day, the time between periods of Day and Night are nearly equal.

    As the year progresses, you find that there is more daytime and less nighttime until you reach the Summer Solstice around June 21st. That is the day that has the absolute most day time and least nighttime.

    The amount of daylight decreases and the amount of Nighttime increases until about September 23rd, the Autuminal Equinox when they are about equal once again.

    Finally the amount of daytime decreases further and the amount of nighttime increases until the Winter Solstice around December 22nd when the Amount of day is at the very least and the amount of night is at the very highest and the cycle continues.
  9. Soooooooooooooooooo....the other to equinoxs(sp?) are basically the midpoints between long days and short days? Huh, didn't know we paid attention to that. How do you know that anyways? Studied time/weather/somethingrelatedidfk? Well, now I sorta get it. Thanks for the info!

    Um, I'm afraid it's basic astronomy/meteorology taught in apparently some grade schools.
