Just wondering if we are ever going to see new content added to Dragonrealms with a multiple month epic story-line that could shape Elanthia?

I don't expect them to. The game is having enough problems keeping regular GMs and small scale story arcs going. Hitting it back up to peak 'war/invasion' type story arcs that make sweeping changes seems rather like JFK going 'we can't get this Ford to drive from Houston to Florida, but we're just going to go ahead and make a moonbase'.

And they seem to be focused on quality of life changes lately. Rested exp, system overhauls, finishing crafting, etc.

That's setting aside my cynicism about profit requirements from events, which obviously consume a large grain of time for writing, rewriting, item creation, etc.

A really bad poem, dedicated to dreadful states of affairs.

Maybe.
All I can say is
Everyone has a way of seeing things. Sometimes you
Love the thing and other times not
So much.
Hopefully someday
You'll see new and exciting things. It could be
Very soon. Or maybe it will take
Eternity.

Sometimes you have to wonder,
How bad could it really be if
Everyone just went their own way..

Would it mean the end of all things
If there was a changing of the guard?
Love is a fickle beast, but its more
Likely that she will be here to stay..

Remember that your time will come
Even if you pray to Them.
Illusions of significance.
Gone too soon?
Never remembered.

Nobody thinks it
Over too hard
Oh, maybe they should?
Only time will tell.
Oversight provides just enough insight
On the matter.
Of course, such concepts make people nervous.
Others may know more. Are they merely
Obedient to their chosen
Ones? Are their powers
Obsolete? It seems time
Obscures as much as it reveals... I wouldn't
Obsess over it too much. Just hum this
Ode that could sound like a scream.

He lights the incense, mouths the hymn;
Obeisance on trembling knees.
"Divine Lady! Great Hodierna!
"I beseech your aid!
"Evil comes, with ich'rous heart
"Resolved 'pon our destruction!
"New am I to war, Great One,
"And so afraid! Save me, Mother!"

She comes in glorious holy light
And with a gentle, loving smile,
Volunteers a single humble weapon.
Etched in the battered iron blade:
"Save thyself."

When in times of trouble
Our thoughts turn to
Right or wrong
New or old

Dramatic ways of reasoning
Overshadow the
Real and the
Necessary...
