Jumpgate Offers Reassurance to Earth and Beyond Refugees in the form of a special offer to try out JumpGate for an extended period of time.  Here is their official release about this:

Louisville, CO - March 18th, 2004 - NetDevil Ltd., the independent developers of the massively multiplayer space combat and trading simulation Jumpgate, today announced a special program offering a free thirty day trial (instead of the standard ten) to all players who send in a retail Earth and Beyond CD.    Join the enigmatic Quantar, the warlike Octavians or the mercantilist Solrain as they work to rebuild civilization following the great collapse and defeat the alien Conflux menace. "We are troubled to see the small online space genre losing another excellent game. At NetDevil, we're hoping that players are still looking for something different in a market saturated with fantasy games. If players want to fly a spaceship, we obviously welcome them to check out Jumpgate,? commented lead programmer Josh Johnston. To take advantage of the opportunity, players should: - Download Jumpgate (http://www.jossh.com/support/) - Create an account (http://www.jossh.com/join_today/sign_up/) - Package up your Earth and Beyond CD, making sure to include a verified callsign and valid email address, and mail it to: Themis Group C/O Jumpgate Division 2530 Meridian Parkway 2nd Floor Durham, NC 27713 This offer only applies to accounts created between March 17, 2004 and October 31, 2004.  For more information, see details at http://www.jossh.com/sswap.
