I don't read the motherboards so I'm not even remotely in the loop. I know its still not coming, but I was wondering if we'd heard anything beyond "We need more time to think about it".

I've not  heard anything about it.  Then again they are pretty quiet right now.  This lag thing either has them hiding or busy.  Or both.

I was hoping for dead. "has them dead" would have been ideal.

The single intern they had assigned to work on it for 4 hours per week has been fired.

They forgot that he had actual work assigned to him, and have yet to assign it to anyone else.  So, not soon.

Everyone else at Turbine is too busy eating pie, playing furry-pac-man, and laughing about the lag rage on the forums to give a fuck about cannith crafting.

When it is finally released expect it to suck.

I wouldn't expect it any time soon.  It's gone from updates, to patches between updates, to "we haven't decided how to do it", and now as of 2 weeks ago on Cordovan's stream it's gone to "nothing to report at this time." 

Hopefully that means they showed the PC their plan, and the PC told them how horrible their plan was.  Of course they'll go with that plan anyways, but they'll just hold off on the release for another update, when they feel the PC is dumb enough to forget how shitty they said it was.

PC council?
You mean like THIS year PC? You know who is in it right?

I wouldn't count on cannith crafting being released any time soon (happy to be proven wrong anyway). What I'm curious about is what happened for them to post pone what was practically about to be released on lamannia.

I know who's on this years PC.  Uurcock.  Who feels the need to take every single topic he can think of and create a thread on the motherboard, full of his ideas of how shit should be done.  No doubt in my mind if they didn't present a plan that was exactly like his, all his responses will simply be links to his threads about what he wants it to be.  That's at least one fanboi who could still potentially not give them the feedback they want on some stuff.

Unless you have knowledge that I don't, all public comments I've seen or heard are exactly as I stated in my post.  Their last real public comment was that they still hadn't decided on how they were going to go about the changes.  So I'm personally not so confident that they were close to releasing to lammania.

My real guess is that No Worries is still spending part of his time trying to figure out what went wrong with random loot, and working on new worthless named items for U31, so he has no time to do anything about cannith crafting.

Neither. They're doing whatever they normally would do on a weekend. Nobody (not Turbine employees or anyone else) has any idea at all what causes it (the "12 people freeze in place while the mobs have their way with them until they're dead, but are able to talk to each other in text/voice chat" kind of lag), so they're not going to worry about it, and they hope it works itself out on it's own.

Which it likely will, once there's nobody playing anymore...

At a wild assed guess not before U33...

They first have to rebuild it from scratch, because it's part of the spaghetti code left by their predecessor at coding, and they just can't keep old code and try to update it... they need to rewrite it from scratch.

Don't forget to fix that payroll glitch.
