Ahoy Mates!
We've all heard this news by now:
An update this week would allow them to add a Tease for Forsaken Shores in the world, so I'm all for that!
Just Imagine going to Thieves' Haven and finding that guy from the Trailer!
Anyways Mates, let me know what ya think!

Well, for an in world Tease (Like Merrick) to happen you need server maintenance.
So if there's going to be a tease it'll be this week...
(That is if there's going to be Maintance this week)
I'm still waiting on the proper Forsaken Shores page that usually would have been out a week and a half ago going by previous updates.
I doubt they'll patch anything or touch anything in live game this week, since anything they change will probably have to be accounted for going into the FS update as well.
Probably easier and more stable to get their bug fixes in now and focus on going into FS next week than putting out another build they may have to adjust even more to by next week
The 27th is also a Thursday ;P
@ghostpaw yeah that is a problem.
I believe the Game Development term for introducing new bugs with an update that is intended to fix bugs is called:
Yea i think in-game content is a no go. Remember it was going to release this week. So they have nothing prepared, and they're throwing all the resources at bugs and the issues with the FS patch (for whatever all they are outside the "memory leak"). So that would be rushing content again that could introduce MORE bugs if they rushed for content this week - for sure, or next week even not enough time to test. So best we just hold tight for 2 weeks while they fix things up and release FS, then they get back onto a good schedule (their time, not ours. Better testing and testing regression...no dates), where they work content, test it, then release it as a surprise to us in a patch.
I'm really happy they decided to delay this. It's not even about the bugs at this point. The fact that they knew and the community knew that they were really awful bugs sometimes each weekly event or major content update. They listened, they learned and they did something about it. That is good pro consumer service right there.
Nah, if the reason for the delay was to go all-hands-on-deck for the FS release, then siphoning off devs to work on adding extra (presumably unplanned) additions seems entirely counter-productive.
A delay for good reason is a good delay.
A longer delay to allow time for adding some extra fluff to make up for the fact that there was a good reason for the original delay would just be frustrating.
