The problem isn’t that we’ve been given time to rewrite the creature, the problem is the LT decided to nuke half of the established magic lore from orbit without having an alternative ready.  The fact that anyone decided it would be a good idea to invalidate massive amounts of the magic lore BEFORE they had anything ready to release to the players is, to be perfectly frank, ridiculous.

Even when the players do go out and write restructuring for their lore, the pieces are kept in limbo.  In the interim, characters that players have put time and effort into building are either strongarmed into PKing, or in the case of transformed characters, have months if not years of character building invalidated.

Giving an alternative isn’t acceptable either. Removing lore without a valid reason IC is frankly stupid to the continuity. Unless its a very large issue, invalidating lore is only done to make it seem like you’re doing work. @ForeverGinger

I don’t think that’s necessarily true though.  The lore on LoTC has to be trimmed and reformatted from time to time-purges like this are bound to happen with any collaborative writing piece.  The problem is that, in my personal opinion, this purge has been poorly managed and even more poorly implemented.  Redacting massive parts of lore that lots of characters have either interacted with, or wholly depend on for their characterization, without having either an alternative or an IC reasoning behind it leaves a lot of people in limbo. @James
