I have no definitive answer for you, but the issue was Reported to Frogster as soon as it was discovered. We can now only wait for a fix from Runewaker.
I recall there were similar issues discovered with certain quests upon release of chapter 4 and 3 and the fixes came reasonable quickly so I'm hoping to be able to continue my own quests after the maintenance on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I don't know if this will be fixed on Tuesday or not, but I still hope...
To add something in here to all those that accuse Frogster of releasing untested content:
I know that the QA department have been testing everything on the test servers and everything worked as intended - therefore the content was released. However, for some unknown reason, things behave differently on the live servers than on the test server:
- Remember the Kalon & Fireboot delegates argument?
- What about the Jyr'na Elven Mages becoming extinct?
- House Energy as an event reward?
Each of these were reported to be working just fine, yet they managed to bug on the live servers.
There was no explanation as to why this should be the case but in each instance, these bugs were corrected.
Admittedly, some do take longer than others and this leads to frustration. All I can ask is that we all be patient. (I'll bet you're all getting fed up with me saying that, huh?)
