Officially, they never said much about Origins. It was put on ice for a long time, but then there was actually a period where it looked like they would resume work on it (Lori

). I believe the last thing we heard was that Origins was put on ice, but they were hoping they would get a chance to use the work they had done far so it would not be wasted.
Official statements are one thing though. The brutal reality is that the DAoC dev team have fewer and fewer resources available. We never hear about it, but we can feel how patches get lighter and lighter content. It's pretty obvious that Origins is *far* beyond what the DAoC dev team can manage, even if they wanted to.
We can only hope that the devs have had a *really* long holiday vacation, because the last few months (lack of) productivity does not bode well.
