Sony Online Entertainment announced today on EQ2 Players the delay of Game Update #51 which would introduce a revamp of Lavastorm and new level 80 content. While no specific reason was given for the delay, the wording suggested they'd like to test it a little bit more. The update was widely believed to be scheduled for this week but the announcement did not specify a date it was rescheduled for. The announcement below says it all:
As many of you know, we've been working on Elements of Corruption (Game Update 51) for some time...there really is a lot of good stuff coming, including new zones, new raids, new quests, a revamp of Lavastorm, the list seems endless. However, we're not quite ready to release it. I know many of you were expecting us to do so this week or next, but at this point, we just need some more time to spend working on it so that it's just right for all of you. Please be patient with us while we finish polishing the update, and as soon as we have a good date that we can ship out all of this exciting goodness, we'll let you know.
Also, for those of you who are trying to claim the item as promised in the Beckett's magazine promotion, it will postpone that item as well. We hope you understand, and certainly appreciate your patience.
