I think MS9 and lykke are just playing around with us, Its been crunch time for a while now and Ed has gone off the radar for almost a month now... 12.5 is not a mini VU its a major VU (otherwise it would be 12.4.4) , whats the point of registering and not been able to play, its got to be this VU or very, very soon. I wouldnt leave my potential (to-be) player base to be waiting long to play, No planet partner had people wait to register and not actually launched, Rocktropia, Next Island , Arkadia this is a first..Arkadia let us know almost a month before the official release, Next Island announced 28th Nov and opened next Island on the 8th December (2 days before there announced date of the 10th), could this be the same as Cyrene what Next Island Did, or are the registering players have to wait a month before they can start playing (thats not good..)
