I saw today that the Wheel of Time series will be completed. The author, Robert Jordan, passed away recently, but Tor has contracted with Brandon Sanderson to write A Memory of Light, the 12th book in the series.

I agree with most reviews that the series really tailed off after book 4, and finally picked up again in book 10. It’ll be nice to get closure on all the characters, though I expect Mr. Sanderson will have some tough fans, The Wheel of Time has an amazingly picky following, perhaps only second to Star Trek.
