  • April Fools!

    You've been fooled! We did our best to make it as realistic as possible, while still leaving enough clues to keep people guessing

    For those of you needing firm verbal confirmation that it was all a hoax:

    No, the Department of Justice is not shutting down Subspace. No, Subspace was not purchased by EA. Most likely, they've never even heard of us. No, Subspace 2: Legacy will not be designed, developed, or released. No, Subspace will not become pay to play. Yes, it was all a big joke. Yes, I own subspacetwo.com. And finally, yes, a great many people had quite a good laugh at your expense.

    I suppose you'd probably like to thank or send hate mail to the key people involved, so here they are.

    DoCk> - Original idea, organization.

    Crazi - Subspace 2: Legacy story

    Harumi - Subspace 2: Legacy Website, Fake DOJ C&D Website contents

    Acid - Subspace 2: Legacy Website

    All the sysops and site operators of the zones that participated were also involved. I'll be compiling a list as time goes on but I have no clue how many zones and sites participated. The effect kinda snowballed upon itself.

    We'll be converting subspacetwo.com to Subspace 2: Legacy of a Hoax, and provide you with funny logs, tidbits, screenshots, etc... and the backstory of what we did to preserve our little stunt for posterity.

    Email me any carefully edited content (remove only unnecessary/unrelated content) for this website at dock@twsites.com.

    Click here to go to the Subspace 2: Legacy website.

    Click here to see the fake DOJ website that we made.

    And to all those who cried or were overly upset, I'm sorry. Honest.

                  I believed it at first, especially because it was like 10AM on March 31 when I first saw it. I immediately opened Continuum to see if all the zones were still up.

                  Like a few people said, it probably would have been more believable if you didn't put the subspace2 site up.

                  Anyway, a LOT of people believed it and were going nuts on the game. Evilant in particular was going off for like 15-20 minutes about it.
