That's fair and I appreciate the honesty, but you can understand why I'd be frustrated right?
R.O.P was announced, then bumped back to make time for another project, then another project and then yet more projects.
New projects keep coming in, and R.O.P keeps getting knocked back. I'm not going to begrudge any off those projects, for the most part they were enjoyable. But surely after so many years R.O.P could get a chance?
Fear not. I share your frustration. RoP was my baby when I was in the design stage and it has helped to fom the Armadyl and aviansie that we know now. There are stories I would love to tell that involve it and some lore I would love to expand.
But, each time it is delayed, the expectation for what it should be grows exponentially bigger. Which means that it becomes a larger project... which means it gets delayed. Etc.
I won't lie. I genuinely worry that it can never live up to the hype now. I'm a fan of my story and of the reveals, but the expectations have grown humongous now. Still, I'd rather the tale be told and it to not live up to the hype, then for it to never be told at all.

Would it help if players actively contributed to the development cycle, or would that be considered more of a hinderance?
I'd like to help in whatever way I could, I'm sure other players would as well.
Whilst it's sweet that you would offer, I'm afraid it would be more hindrance than assistance. Besides everything we need is here and comes from here. Player's couldn't create the code, which is made here, they couldn't do the models, or the animations. Some of the writing, perhaps, but that would require a constant battle between real canon and headcanon and that way madness lies.
Thanks for offering, but no, I'm afraid it wouldn't really help.

Your possibly equally as frustrated or even more so?
P.S: Please forgive the rambly nature of this post.
Rambling is always forgiven. I ramble myself quite often.
I do want to see RoP made, definitely, and it frustrates me that I don't have better news, but I do understand the process and the resources here and so I can appreciate why it hasn't arrived yet.
It is still on our radar. It is still on our list of things we want to do, so I would expect to see it in due course. But, we have to pick our updates sensibly and do what's right for the whole playerbase.
RoP will have its time, fear not.
