There is no ongoing ranger recode project right now. There has been many attempts in the past, but to my knowledge not many have gotten very far. Actually, many haven't gotten past the idea stage, but Arman can perhaps provide more details, as he has been more involved in the recent attempts. It's possible there has been more groundwork than I know of, but regardless, a ranger recode does not feel very close right now...
I think we wizards (myself included) have for a long time also been a little... well... too hopeful? We always say that we really want to recode the rangers, and that they should be recoded, etc, which is true, and of course gives hope to players. I think everyone has had very good intentions as well, wanting to give players hope, but, I think at some point it starts working the other way. If we continue give you hope, but nothing happens, hope turns into hopelessness...
So... you asked for 100% honesty, here it is:
As I have mentioned in other threads, I think a good way of thinking for all players is to try not to "wait" for updates, recodes, new guilds, etc. I mean, questions about the ranger recode have been asked for at least 10-15 years now... that's a long time. At this point, I think it's better to simply play the current ranger guild as it is today, and have as fun as you can with it as it is. Or, choose another guild. Don't expect it will be recoded anytime soon, and if it one day is recoded, see it as a bonus.
