    Default Time for a State of the Game Address?

    Mid to late last year we were advised that a State of the Game address was being drafted. It seems appropriate, now that it's a new year, that this address be completed and presented. Can we get something please?

    After many threads etc. It was indicated by Kate that the state of the game would come out at anniversary time so Feb-March time frame would be my guess

    I'm kinda sick of hearing about all the fun stuff that may show up someday. Look, I'll save us all some time and go through what whey will cover:

    1) Druids, Half-orcs: coming someday. To find the current release date, determine today's date and add one year. Repeat daily.
    2) Prestige classes: same as #1 but with a two year timer
    3) Level 20: Sorry, we only planned for level 10, so every time we increase the cap we have to dramatically change the game.
    4) Making this game like WoW: we're working on creating all the timesinks for you. We recognize that you need something to pass the time.
    5) Mod 6: January... no, February... wait, March! or is it April? We do anticipate that you will be able to finally play the mod 5 raid at this time... maybe.
    6) Mod 7: We need this to revamp all established systems.
    7) Maybe if we're lucky we can have a town meeting so we can review what has been discussed to death on the forums.

    Sorry, it's Monday, I'm always crabby on Mondays.

    The game is still running. You enjoy playing the game. There is nothing else to see here.

    Actually, no there is more to it. Lack of coherent direction led to so many balance issues that they spent time creating an ehancement system, realized that it was far too overpowered as the levels continued to increase, and then had to scale it back. Now I think some people are realizing that the metamagics enhancements are still too powerful. Having a clear, coherent idea of direction to take the game might have prevented this issue. How many other quests or classes might we have had by now if the initial Enhancement system had been created correctly the first time? Hence, need for a State of Game Address.

    Be careful what you wish for, she may actually tell you what the state of the games is. Do you really need a Turbine exec to do that for you? And if so, do you really want it spelled out that clearly?

    QFT, you think if this game was going great they would not be continually putting out statements about the game? If they give one you aren't going to like it.....

    They are just milking this baby at this point....

    Rage explains it much better. Silly Barbarian. I thought it was, "Hi, my name is Strakeln, and someone peed in my cornflakes this morning."

    Obviously you are unfamiliar with the term "Monday". Allow me to quote the definition for you:

    Monday (pron. IPA: /ˈmʌndeɪ, ˈmʌndi/) is the day of the week between Sunday and Tuesday, commonly identified by the yellowish color of the milk in Strakeln's cornflakes.
    (to be fair, it's getting very close to Tuesday so the sour taste is finally starting to wear off).

    You're really not that far off the mark.

    I'd also rather not hear a state of the game address either. I'd just rather hear what is actually going to come out and when, give or take a month.

    This product, thus far, has been over promised and under delivered (on quantity, not quality).
