Darkwind: War on Wheels, launch date

Hello all,

As you may know, Darkwind: War on Wheels has been in a period of closed testing
for the past few months as we have been integrating and balancing substantial
new game features. In addition to our racetrack and arena based racing and
combat leagues and ladders, we now also have out-of town travel, multi-player
squads, and wilderness battles with NPCs and other player squads.

Three of our towns are now live, with more coming soon. With travel times
running to tens of hours, on-the-road piracy and a detailed systems-dynamics
based economic simulation, trade is a viable gameplay approach that we have put
great effort into making possible. Resource locations, distances, and
fluctuating piracy levels (which are tied to actual player activity) all
contribute to the supply-and-demand calculations underpinning the economy.

We plan to re-open the game next Friday – May 4th. From now until then, we are
offering substantially reduced pre-release subscriptions. The game will remain
free to play, but many of the more advanced gameplay features will only be
available to subscribers.

Thank you for all your support over the past 2 years.. :-)
