    That seems more like a lore (excuse) to mask an obvious technical limitation. The inns are probably on a separate instance server, so that's why a lot of functions are disabled. They sadly don't have the tech to enable all game functions regardless of where your character is.

    It's the opposite, actually. The inn rooms were created to serve as an area where players used minimal bandwidth and sever cycles, ideal for logging in and out and using solo features which don't require a full networked instance. It's not so much that the servers are limited, but that those instances were built with specific constraints in mind.

    They wouldn't have ever built a room with such constraints unless there were technical limitations you needed to work around, because the benefit would be minimal if the server performance was up to snuff. Which means they still have server issues, either with actual hardware or data center still not having the required performance or it's a manpower issue in making the necessary software changes to undo the restrictions. It's probably both.

    It's ridiculous to blame the restrictions placed on players within their Inn on "server limitations." Every character/player connected regardless of location is an independent instance running independently of everything else. The operations forbid in the inn are not restricted within a player's room within their Free Company housing. The restrictions are clearly intentional. And IMO they should be removed.
