Yes. The combination of the engine, “fragile” servers, and leftover 1.0 spaghetti code is supposedly the reason why we can’t have a lot of things in this game. Any time something is suggested (e.g., HD texture packs for high-end PCs), the excuse is the game engine. Anytime something like instanced housing is suggested, the excuse is a combination of coding and wanting to keep a “neighborhood feel” to Wards. When we ask for a proper Glamour Log, less convulted Glamouring system, or even the Glamour Dresser as a housing item, we’re met with “it would be difficult to code” excuses (though, apparently they have said they are “working on” making a Glamour Dresser housing item). There’s... a lot of things that are turned down because of the engine/coding/stability of the servers, it seems.
