Well, it all started when I went to hire a second retainer today. I have done the required quests (as I had one retainer already hired), but for some reason the Vocate would not allow me to hire a second. So after double checking the quests and seeing if there was anything missing I came to the conclusion I must be bugged. No problem, I used /shout and made inquiries and someone's advice was to maybe delete the retainer I had, and create a new one in hopes it would reset and I'd be prompted to make two at that time.

Well, I did that and now I have 0 retainers and am allowed to hire 0 retainers. The MB was pretty much my only source of income so I'd really appreciate some help/guidance with this issue.
