It's been a looong period with a crashed game, and lots of people have asked if Mida$ is dead. It's now up'n'running again!
After 1 1/2 years, the game is reset. It's time to prove once again that you're able to create a fortune!

A big leap for the Jottonian democracy: the voting system is up. Now it's your turn: found those parties!
The database server has been upgraded from PostgreSQL 6.5 to 7.0.
Some of the database was corrupted (maybe that's the reason why the game has been kinda unstable), and I was unable to export the old mails and the old company price history.
Thus, your old mails are gone and the price charts are reset. Sorry about that, but it had to be done.
A live Mida$ChatTM is available! Click the "Mida$ Cafe" icon on the top. If your computer/OS/browser isn't good enough
for Java, you can disable the Java chat in "Preferences".
Additionally, you can now delete old mails and view mails without subject.
Due to database problems, some companies disappeared. A one day old backup (sunday 02.00, Norwegian time) was restored.
The game server has had it's mainboard and CPU replaced. It's now running a 550 MHz AMD K6-2 instead of the old Pentium 233MMX it had earlier.
