The introduction of Integration Cycle Extenders seems to be a success so far, the ingame market is constantly filled with buy and sell orders for it.

For a while, the price of ICE seemed to settle around 60-70 million NIC - much lower than we have expected, but certainly good news for buyers. Lately it seemed to slowly start upwards and it is quite possible that today's patch will increase demand and thus its price even more.

I want to br-... play free!

A lot of you with expired accounts have come to us asking to let you in for a few minutes so you can buy an ICE and get back into the game. But that wouldn't have been fair towards the others, not to mention the user management nightmare.

So today we present you our new temporary account reactivation feature, which will revive an expired Perpetuum account for 24 hours, completely free of charge. Obviously we still have to pay our rent, so you can only do this once every 30 days.

An account reactivated this way is no different than any other active account, you will even get EP for those 24 hours too.

Use that time to buy ICE, manage roles of dead corporations, check out new game features, or whatever else you can think of.

How?

The temporary reactivation feature can be reached from your account status page, or here is a direct link to it.

So spread the word to your old buddies and see you in game!

This of course is a very good thing, but doesn't mean that Perpetuum will be available to be purchased via Steam tomorrow. This is only the first step in the process toward that goal, a process of which we'll probably be able to tell you guys very little due to NDAs and whatnot. So keep this in mind, we'll keep you updated as much as we can.

"The Green Light Bundle puts great indie games in the spotlight. Games that need your help to get onto Steam. Choose your price, play the games and don't forget to rate them on Steam Greenlight(tm)."

Along with all the other nice indie games, the bundle includes a 30-day Perpetuum game time code. The code is available for old and new accounts alike, but only one green light bundle code is allowed per account.

(Note that this is separate from Steam Greenlight, we're awaiting an announcement for that on Monday.)
