Ha. Yes, I do suppose that "can" and "should" have definite distinctions, here.
Ah, well. Personally, I'd love it if Delera's stayed like that for good. Anytime I'm bored? Hop on my sorc, blast undead until I'm out of spell points. I can't tell you how many hours I spent on the Risia slopes in the Harbor - still have so many Recipes sitting around I didn't even use.

I need to get some kind of advanced notice so I can put in the time off request 2 weeks in advanced and prepare my body for 3+ days without sleep.
Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
- Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
- Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
- Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
- Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
- Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.
I hope it will come live in october 29th, a few days short of the end of the month so you guys have some time to do a relaunch inside the month if its necessary.
October was the deadline, but you gotta have all the time you can to fix all its supposed to fix and not come out with more problems than it should.
I would like to know how long the live event will last too. I had so much fun with it that I am planning a guild event around it. Skull vs Pumpkins laser tag!
Based on Turbine's track record over the past year, I would be shocked if the event lasted less than two weeks. Just look at the other events -
- Festivult was on twice in the past year, for a week or two at a time. This is an old event, programming long since completed.
- Egg hunt was also on for a few weeks - new event for 2010.
- Risia was on too much this year - 2-3 times, plus several extensions. I think there was snow in the harbour half of the year so far. That event was new and took a lot of work.
The new Mabar event likely required more development time than any of the other special events. It would be uncharacteristic of Turbine to run it for less than a few weeks. I also wouldn't be surprised to see it more than once a year.
Don't forget that there'll be downtime for "emergency" hotfixing and patching about a week after it goes live.
Those are not pebbles surrounding the urn filled with Human teeth. They are megaliths!
I just hope they hold back Half Elves until Update 8.
