So, let's speculate about future Story developments (SPOILERS!!!)

they won't kill the sultan or remove her from power, or they will have to remake the last quest in the cooking class quests, because it has cut scenes with her in it, and they would write themselves into a corner.

Not necessarily. If you don't mind spoiling yourself for an MMO you may never play, try Googling "Darth Malgus" to see how that other major story-driven MMO handles it's continuity. After a point, both players and devs are going to need to accept the possibility of experiencing plot "episodes" out of sequence, not unlike watching a long-running TV series.

There I am, getting introduced to Ramnbroes for the first time, standing right next to proof that we've met before. This game's continuity is already not nearly as airtight as players think it is, so anything can happen.

Technically, that single line you show doesn't break continuity.

But regardless, I think it's bound to happen anyway.

I can understand ramnbros cause hes still alive and his status hasn't changed, but if the sultan died or wasn't sultan wouldn't if be odd she was in the cutscene for the cooking quest and was still addressed as sultan? (AH! LALAFELL GHOST!)
