Ixion proves you need to upgrade servers

They are still going to the wards, if you read the chat text. Only that players can't enter the wards now. It work as lore design.
And who say that they used 1.0 codes for the retainer, and not just the concept with new codes?

Lore is nice and all just as long it does not interfere with playability too much. Since we can't enter the wards to interact with them, they should of been completely redone from a design prospective. I do not like the retainers now, there is too much receptive menus, and needing to wait for them to respond times 8 and move items one to another and overall item management, takes too much time. Item management is very poorly done, and keeps getting worse as the game progresses when they keep flooding us with items.

This is correct. So when you hear the devs say that they say they can't do something because of the server data transfer issues, this is the cause. The 1.x technology did everything on the server and no client side work. They want to do more and are working on it but retooling everything is like changing out a transmission in a car while it's still driving on the road. It isn't easy but there working on it.

Then take down servers for a month or whatever and fix these issues. You shouldn't be driving the car while changing the transmission, you stop the car. They had sometime in HW to realize it was a problem, it is now SB without any fix, time to take action and stop ignoring the problem. I wasted too much time with the poor item management in the game.
