Clustering is a HUGE task, it's taking pretty much everyone's attention right now as pretty much every line of code has to be rewritten or adapted to function in some indipendant manner.

Getting chunks of code to interact with other chunks of code isn't an easy task when both chunks have to share an enormous amount of data. Every player, npc, message, everything has to be accessable by each node on the cluster and any changes to one node must be reflected on another node.
Add on top of this the fact that there is already an established code base that provides a good number of systems that are dependant on each other and you got your work cut out.

Clustering was started a long time ago but its just one of those tasks that you cant really plan for, it's seriously complex and until its working the way it should you can't really guess how close you are to finishing it.

Updates will come and once clustering is finally nailed there will be a ton of stuff added thats just been waiting for the right time but as of right now clustering is the main task and you should assume that is what they are working on.

thanks man
