Gothenburg, Sweden - September 5, 2001 - MindArk AB announced that the Phase II beta test of its innovative Internet-based interactive entertainment enterprise, Project Entropia, has begun. Earlier today, the first of the 500 new participants entered the initial test area, which consists of 10 square kilometers. The new group is expanded from Phase I, which involved technical testing with a much smaller participant base of approximately 50.
"Today is a truly significant occasion, a landmark date in the development of Project Entropia," stated MindArk Chief Operating Officer Jan Welter, the visionary behind the project. "The basic concept underlying Project Entropia arose many years ago, at a time when there probably wasn't enough computing power in the entire world to support it, and it wasn't until a few years ago that we judged that technology had advanced enough for us to go ahead. It has taken a long time and a tremendous amount of work to arrive at this point, and we are now more motivated than ever to bring Project Entropia to its full potential."
