Great news indeed... Whats so wrong with shared storage, now that we've had it for what, 5 months?

Added:

Even more interesting is how WB's acquisition of Turbine follows the announcement of the delay of the patch...

I guess we're not getting the Blue Roan until next Spring.

The issue, simply put, is that we have seen that in certain situations characters see no items in their shared storage. While this may be a display error, we felt it more prudent to not release the patch until we understood the full impact of the issue and could resolve it. I think we can all agree that losing items would have been far more saddening than waiting a little bit longer for the patch.

no doom and gloom please, I started this thread as an attempt to make lemonade from lemons, or in other words to get people to laugh a bit at the image rather than sulk about the delay.

I'm choosing to be happy that a serious bug was caught and forestalled, and we've been spared tomorrow's drama of "OMG, I lost a stack of ingots!" or whatever the bug was.

I am disappointed I have to hold on to my horse token that much longer, though. Oh well. Critical bugs must be squashed.

Not surprised at all that it got delayed. Continues there recent trend of disappointment. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this was all planed as a easy scheme to get more money out of current/former players to keep/renew their subscription(s). Probably won’t get “fixed” for a while.

I think your parents may have exposed you to too much Eeyore as a kid. With a touch of X-files-type conspiracy theories.

Is there anything in that patch so exciting as to warrant anything like this level of bitterness or conspiracy-mongering? Was anyone really resubscribing for gift tokens and cheaper re-traits? Seriously?

Any chance of missing items (even display issues) is a very good reason for the delay.

Wait, so you found a problem in testing and actually delayed publishing a patch? No way....

Way to be, Turbine, this is encouraging behavior indeed!

Unrelated. However if you would like to discuss that bit of news, please use the official thread. Let's try to keep this one about the delay.

Yes, because I'm sure what happened is that the acquisition papers were signed. . . and immediately the head of Time-Warner called Turbine and said: "Delay that patch! Now! People must not get their Writs of Virtue!"

At which point he hung up the phone and began rubbing his hands together Monty Burns-style.

Good call.

Now I have nothing to look forward to tomorrow... I know thats even more sad than the patch getting delayed, but its the truth. Work, eat, lotro, sleep... repeat.
