ok so heres a quote from this article in 2008 http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01...nd-the-shroud/
Along the way we chatted about spells and where they came from. Turbine wanted to faithfully recreate some D&D spells, but not all of them could make the cut-- Earthquake was listed as one that they "had to pull at the last minute because we just couldn't get the experience quite right. But we hope to bring it back in future modules." And I was shown two new spells for Module 6-- Trap the Soul, and the explosive Sunburst, as a huge ball of fire engulfed not only the unsuspecting gnolls, but the entire party and the environmnt as well.
This is one or two spots where they mention earthquake in 2008... there were ONLY clerics in 2008... I cant find storm mentioned in 2009 upon any quick searching, and I really dont want to look to much for it, point is... *but we hope to bring it back in future modules*.... yep .... its here... time to hand it to the class that was SUPPOSED to have it back then.
They dont get to say well we dont remember that.... that was from Kate Paiz.... who was exectuive producer of ddo at that point, who moved over to be the ex producer of lotro when her husband fernando took over her old just right before f2p launched.... all he has to do is walk in his front door and say *honey do you remember, were clerics or favored souls supposed to get earquake and storm of vengance when you were testing them a few years ago?*
So fernando... care to call home yet?? or maybe across the office *dont know if kate is still at turbine after the kids*
