Alright.
First things first. I apologize for missing my first deadline.
The crafting patch was supposed to be online at 11:00 pm january 31st.
Unfortunately, i was emergency called out of town thursday and didn't get back until today, so i was unable to finish it up, being as that whole weekend was set aside for finishing it.
Sorry guys.
I'm not going to give an ETA on when the patch will be finished because this week is full of stuff for me and depending on a reply i get later today i might be out of town this weekend as well.
now on to other things:
Races should get done (at least 2-3 of them) this month. Maybe all depending on time.
Yes you will be allowed to turn from human to race characters when they are put in (some exceptions to be listed later).
Necromancy will get fixed with the warlock race patch.
Crafting patch will get in, the hopefully a week after that the skill gain rebalance patch will go in. I've decided to split this from the crafting patch in order to include all the skills, not just the crafting ones.
Magery is gonna get some tweaks in terms of minimum casting levels and difficulties.
The new content L system should also get finished up this month. It's been 99% done for around 3 months now, i just got distracted with other things and haven't been able to stresstest it and do the final setup for it.
The status page systems should go online soon as well. They're technically online now, just not mirrored to the main site. Need to do some final tests and setup work with roadband.
That should give everyoen a rough idea of the situation right now.
