Are the server issues gone yet?

Working on ways to improve player autonomy in the story. Ravadon's the leader in name only; that needs to change, particularly so he doesn't get sidelined. Isabella's autonomy within the confines of the dragon's lair requires some tricky NPC juggling and new mysteries, because otherwise it'll just be a boring lore dump. Responding to Edward and Herodotus requires carefully crafted answers that stay in character without spoiling too much. The problem is complicated by the fact that I haven't nailed down the Reaper's personality in this context. Ol' Reaps might speak cryptically to Edward and brush off Sykes, but if it feared the Council a good deal, the reaction definitely wouldn't be suave.

Combined with my being distracted lately, responses haven't been particularly forthcoming, and for that, I apologize. I shall resume normal activity soon once I've sorted a few things out.
