Wheeeeeee

Advent Calendar for today: assorted hard candies, woot!

SoG is still down.... they still have no ETA.

Some bastards claim they've gotten to play, a few even for more than an hour! I choose to disbelieve them and assume they're being paid by NPCube to say there is a working product.

It's a shame, really. DnL sounded like the dream game, even knowing the graphics might be a bit dated. Well, the dream is turning into a nightmare of downtime, annoyed pre-order people, and worst of all -- an almost total lack of communication between the developers and the public. I think I've been spoiled by the detailed information CCP gives us about the status of EVE, and exactly what they're working on. NPCube follows mushroom management, and just says "We're workin' on it."

EVE is down today. The long awaited and planned expansion pack, Red Moon Rising, is being installed as I type. They expect a full 24 hours of downtime, and unlike the jokers at DnL, I fully expect them to either have it working by then... or post a reason for the delay and a new time estimate. I wonder if CCP is hiring junior programmers or content people.... I could move to Iceland to work with a company that cool.
