[[R-DEV]2Slick4U]

Over the past 6 months, both Project Reality Studios and Black Sand Studios have been rigorously working on creating, tweaking and testing the latest installment of Project Reality; v0.9. We are proud to announce that our long and hard work on this version has finally concluded and a release date has been set for Project Reality v0.9:

PRT (Project Reality Time) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

- Preload Project Reality v0.9 Now!
To further increase your excitement, you can preload the Project Reality v0.9 files now! This is the first PR release to feature a "passworded installer". This means, you can download the files now, but until we release the password, you can not install them. In other words, you can have the files downloaded and ready to go, so that when we officially release PR v0.9, you can instantly install it and jump straight into playing without delay! The password will be released automatically via the password page on Friday 5th February 2010, at 09:09:09.
