LunarStorm 5: new look and Pejl
LunarStorm 5 and the instant messaging service Pejl launch after a day's delay. On the first day 1,172,179 Pejl messages are sent.

Version five. We had gone from a Java chat in a cupboard to Flash menus and our own chat client. Bjarne was with us all the way.
- Pejl Light gave everyone 5 Pejl friends, PRO 20. Pejl+ (3 months for SEK 20) arrived at the end of November.
- The campaign “When you were out” was built on Post-it notes. Around 300 member ambassadors spread them in schools and youth clubs.
- Reactions to the look were stronger than expected (“fjortis”, i.e. made for young teens); a toned-down top frame arrived on 21 Nov.
- The Pejl test started in Östersund with around 7,000 test pilots.
- The “last screenshot” of 4.6 and the first of 5.0.0 are in the version series 0.0.0 to 5.0.3.
- January 2004: 831,977,396 page views in one month.
