Title: [UO Herald News] Pub 70 Delayed to go Live

Pub 70 Delayed to go Live
   

Greetings,
 
We will be bringing build 70 to the test center on Wednesday March 16th. As always, we ask that you participate in this test phase and give us your feedback.
 
However, in light of the events in Japan we will be extending the Test Center phase of this publication. Publish 70 is the end of the live event and the new beginning of Magincia and we want all players to have a chance to participate; and we recognize that there may be many members of our Japanese community who may be unable to participate at this time.
 
So here is our current release plan for build 70: Test Center Deployment: 03/16. Our expectation is that we will publish to Origin in around 2 weeks.  Of course, as events change, we will keep all of the community updated.
 
We will be putting a back up of Great Lakes on Test Center 1. We hope this encourages you to log in and discover for yourself how the lotto system on Magincia works. In addition to the house plot lotto please enjoy the new system of planting seeds and watching your plants group in the open land of Magincia.
 
Thank you for your understanding. We are looking forward to getting your feedback and please join us when we say that the hearts and thoughts of our team go out to our Japanese friends.

Not to be too callous, because this is a real tragedy...but Japan's not going to be worried about online gaming for quite some time.  Nuclear reactors and all...

Seems almost like an excuse to delay something that wasn't quite finished.  I'm cynical, though.
