The next publish is on hold until JTLS is out and the mess of serious bugs it creates are under control.

Soooo...with that as a guidline... I guess 3rd quarter 2005 would be the best estimate.

Hmm... that can't be right. In the US the relase is October 26th currently...

I guess everything will depend on what will be included in the next publish. I was under the impression that the Combat Revamp will be top priority once JTL ships. What publishes will they be working on that will come before that? I honestly hope nothing. If this is the case, I honestly wouldn't expect another publish until sometime mid 2005. Honestly, if the Combat Revamp is our next publish, has anyone seen any design docs for it? Are there any In Concept posts concerning it? Yes, we have the HAM revamp in the In Concept forum, but what about everything else? We still need to see weapons, creatures, professions, everything that was initially discussed in Thunderheart's post Dec 2003 Art of Combat post. Since no In Concept posts have been created aside from the HAM, that means no work has been done, no coding, nada. So, realistically no real work will be done on anything until I'd say Jan 2005. How long will it take them to actually get anything productive done and on the Live servers? Once again, I'd say mid 2005 is an optimistic estimate.

Will the devs actually have something else to give us in the next publish? Like I said I certainly hope not. Has anyone heard of anything else on their plate?

Maybe they can release one instanced dungeon every two months until the combat rebalance.


I seriously doubt we will see anything until after JTL. Maybe a few minor fixes we have been asking for. Nothing has been shown for the mythical combat balance so I don't really even think we will see it until next year sometime.
