POST COMPLETO DE SATINE:

Dear Players,

Turbine has officially announced that Book 7: Leaves of Lórien will be launched on their live servers on 17th March, 2009. Codemasters is currently anticipating a release date of 26th March, 2009.

Book 7 is the first major update since the launch of Mines of Moria™ and contains much more written dialogue than recent books. This new release includes story elements that go well beyond what had been estimated when our schedules were set. Although this is positive for the game as we deliver more playable content and story it does mean that more time is required to localise and customise for European release.

Unfortunately, market realities dictate that Turbine must continue on their plan to release as close to deadline as possible. While we have been working with them in an attempt to coordinate on a simultaneous release, the bottom line is that they feel they need to deliver to their players on schedule. Neither company takes this change in our normal delivery policy lightly. A variety of options were considered prior to changing the release schedule, but due to joint operational issues we are unable to launch together this time.

Both Turbine and Codemasters are keen to prevent a re-occurrence of such a delay for the EU and will continue working closely together to avoid separation of releases in the future whenever possible.

In the meantime, Codemasters are doing everything possible to get Book 7 ready for EU release as quickly as we can. We are working around the clock!

We do realize that this delay will be disappointing to many of you. While it’s not a book release, we have arranged a series of fun Bullroarer Took (St. Patrick's Day) activities to take place across Middle-earth. These are an exclusive event for Codemasters customers. Details will be posted to the website shortly.

See you in Middle-earth!

PD: gracias a orvago de stratics por pasarme el link donde se hace referencia al post de codemasters

Retrasado el lanzamiento del book 7 en españa al 2 de abril.

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience this week whilst we wait for Book 7. As mentioned in another thread earlier, our QA team found some pretty serious errors that needed addressing.

We have since reviewed these errors and we require another test build made for us before we can continue with the process towards getting it updated to our live servers.

The error found was one to do with text encoding. Basically, the in-game text was incorrectly encoded which meant that a large chunk of the game's text displayed as random symbols and incomprehensible "garbage".

Furthermore, as you may be aware, Turbine are today adding a patch to their live servers which fixes some pretty nasty bugs, so we are going to wait to have this patch added to our new build too, which is due in later this week, (TBC).

Currently, our new target date for Book 7 is Thursday, April 2nd. We will of course keep you updated on the way with any developments.

Thanks once again for being so patient with this, we hope you have been enjoying all the various events and festivities around the world in the meantime.
