| New Servers and Billing 2258 hours November 3 2002 |

| We have successfully moved all the DarkSpace servers to our new co-location at Prismnet and activated the new and improved billing system for DarkSpace. The new co-location offers a far better ping time for most players and the bandwidth pipe is much bigger. The new billing system is a huge improvement over the previous, offering over 60 different forms of payment through Bibit, our new payment processor. The billing system is now fully integrated into your user profile, no longer requiring a second account to be created for billing purposes. Additionally, administrators now have easy access to your subscription information, allowing them to quickly resolve billing issues. All subscribers should note that Bibit will appear on their bank statements starting November 1, 2002. |
