So I was wondering, when City of Stormreach came out, I thought I remember them saying that there would be an update to 4E for it once 4E actually came out. So far I haven't seen anything for this and was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it.

Am I just senile and thinking crazy or was there something about it being updated? If so, is it like I thought, as in when 4E came out or soon after, or is this something I will have to wait till 2009 and Eberron main stuff starts to show up? Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot help you, but just wanted to post to show I'm also expecting this piece of information to hit D&D Insider soon.

There is a statement on the back of the book saying that their will be updates for City of Stormreach.... it also says its Compatible already...

Both Dragons of Eberron and City of Stormreach ALSO have the "see more at D&D Insider" Icon on them but Dragon of Eberron has no statement to the Compatibility or the Promise of an update with it like City of Stormreach did...

According to the big GenCon/Eberron article here..."the 4th Edition conversion guide has been turned over and is currently sitting with the R&D development team."

According to the big GenCon/Eberron article here..."Again, first a look back:

Feb 2008: City of Stormreach (the 4th Edition conversion guide has been turned over and is currently sitting with the R&D development team). "

I saw that ... but did it mean the conversion guide was turned over to R&D in February of 2008 and they're still working on it? or does it mean they just turned it over to R&D and they've only begun working on it?

It means that the book came out in Feb 2008. It also means that the conversion guide is done design and has been turned over to development.

Considering Dragons of Eberron had about two pages of actual rules, and Stormreach about twice that, I can't imagine what's taking so long. The only other bits would be the monsters, but then, those are supposed to be simple to make in 4th ed. So they say.

Maybe they're hoping people will forget?

I'm guessing most of it would consist of updating PC's (monsters really are easy), and I'm betting it isn't really a top priority so due to the second fact it is probably why it is taking so long.
