In yet another stunning display of last-minute cock-up buffoonery… the release of the truly truly horrific Dark and Light is postponed, with one of the more amusing notifications to the players.

“Dear Pioneer xxxxxx (< –Name removed to protect the identity of the truly stupid…. aww crap but it’s my blog)

The release of Dark and Light is delayed to May 30th, 2006, and Pioneers will have access starting on May 28th, 2006, 1pm UTC.
Dark and Light will be available for download to Pioneers on May 26th, 2006, at 1pm UTC.As the developers are currently working on the final testing and balancing tasks in the Dark and Light private beta, they must regretfully choose to postpone the release of Dark and Light. César Jacquet, manager of NPCube, explains: “As the release date gets closer, we are not satisfied enough with the balancing and debugging, and do not wish to release Dark and Light just yet. After many ups and downs (the chikungunya epidemic on Reunion island http://as1.emv2.com/I?X=8064418ef0686ec1b4e1596d6d415dc4e16d1f05aba2254a as well as logistic issues), the development team wishes to release Dark and Light in the best conditions and to make up for the delay, in order to reward Pioneers who put their trust in us and expect a lot from Dark and Light. This is why Farlan agrees with the recommendations of NPCube and pushes the release date back.”

I am so pleased I flogged my pioneer account on ebay (for profit too!)… so I do wonder why they are sending me the mail when I changed my email address to bigbums@large.com before selling it!

Given how little confidence I have in their systems and processes I can probably assume my personal details are all in the possesion of a 419′er right now

And as their link to the mysteriously named chikungunya virus doesn’t work (no I wasn’t surprised either) I kindly provide you with a working one… http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/msds-ftss/msds172e.html
