We haven't heard anything from you guys in quite awhile, and I was just wondering:

What kinda stuff are you guys working on?

At this rate, the Narrative Department could just be the janitors at Riot HQ on their lunchbreak for all we know.

It's not going to happen. The fact that everytime some one ask Narrative a question, and some one from a non-narrative team (like IronStylus) comes and give some explaining shows that they wont amswer to question we have to ask atm. Unless its something for a new champion like how Jareden answered questions on Rek'Sai's Q&A or an event that comes once a year.

The Harrowing is something Riot does every year for the Holiday Halloween. So of course Narrative gives something to that, most of riot has to. Other than that, some merry folk will come to Story and Art board asking clueless question and they cherry pick it.

Other than that, no, just dead silence.

Gee, i wish i could apologize to TerraRising about what i said back in the Lore discussion forum. I am starting to see it better

They're doing their own lore and creating lots and lots of it while waiting for another team to solve some technical issues and they'll all reveal it at once (or even piecemeal!) and it'll be wonderful. Except that it probably just retcons everything they didn't like in the old lore, which can include entire playable characters or the very premise of the lore. But if you just imagine like there never was any old lore it'll be great, I'm sure of it.

I'll just be over here, complaining about the removal and replacal of Trundle. I'll just wait for you to join me when your favorite character gets retconned out. It might take a couple of years though, but odds are it'll happen like it has to Trundle and quite arguably to Xerath (not an expert on Xerath, but his main motivation got changed, according to Kalista that's enough to define a character, so...).

You do realize they're not going to rise to a thread specifically targeting them, right? They only jump into discussions related to their work, from what I've seen.

For my part, I'm taking a break from lore, both old and new, and just focusing on the excellent game itself. If/when Narrative decides to start, y'know, narrating, I'll be back to check it out. Until that time, I'd rather avoid the wails of anguish and despair which permeate the digital walls of this board. It gets rather depressing.
