There are so many good storylines and zones available in Eberron but they're splitting their attention way too much into other settings.
One thing that leads credence to it all too is that they've never denied it. Lynn is usually pretty quick to call me on my bullshit especially. I know it's a pretty tin-foil hat thing to say but in this case if the shoe fits...
I had a similar experience when I asked about removing spell reagents. They are a -very- early/mid 2000's concept and you'll see that almost every other single MMO/game out there has moved away from it since it's simply put, not fun.
DDO hasn't and the vague wishy-washy answer I got from Cordovan on the livestream was that they aren't really allowed to fiddle with certain things and he dropped the subject at that.
So I can't help but imagine a -lot- of 'bad' stuff still in the game and the dearth of Eberron content isn't just a lack of man hours, but also a lack of permission from WoTC.
Now granted we haven't heard Keith Baker weigh in on DDO in quite awhile but he's also been hinting that WoTC has been showing more and more of an active interest in Eberron materials which may be why that we haven't seen much in the way of Eberron content in quite some time.
I'm really curious to see how they tie in Ravenloft. If it's something like manifest as part of Mabar or an extension of the Day of Mourning and thus contained within the lore of Eberron or if it's more like Forgotten Realms was where they just said "Screw your Astral plane folding shenanigans, we want Lloth!"
