I am happy with the Q&A. It looks like the devs are aware of many of the problems and are well on their way to making this game better :)

Outpost is in the Community liason section of the forum. I would look there for any info/news etc that comes from the devs. Xav is doing pretty good, given the LITTLE amount of info that the powers that be want to give, and the HUGE amount of info that we want/need.

No timeline was given on when Patch III was coming, and I fear it is too little too late.

Dodged all the important questions about where they were taking the story and events and basically talked about bug fixes they're currently working on.

Novels won't help my enjoyment of the story in-game. Acknowledge the problem and give us an answer :|

Also where's that Outpost article we were promised this week?

just a a little info, this might apply, but i could also be wrong. what is called in english novel is called "Roman" in german, and what is called short story in english is called "Novelle" in german. seeing how the french translation for novel also quotes "roman" it is quite likely that the french version of the word novel(couldn't find exact spelling) also means short story.
which would make sense in this case, since the question was: "What articles are going to get published in the Gamelore?" it could simply be the case that they hired an author, gave him what material is already available and told him to write a few short stories, which they could put on the website.

I have understood it the same way, keep in mind, that there are some short storys already readable on the page.
