This has got to be one of the worst up-down-up-down-up.... situations in recent years.

Indeed. Who would have ever thought merely removing soulstones from the world would bring about the end of days on Norrath?! Protect your women and children!!

Thats the issue with a game thats 22 years old made of code on top of code on top of expansions on top of other code. You make a change to one small unrelated thing and suddenly all the NPCs in PoK spawn inside out or PoFire fails to exist or a dozen other knock on things that you couldnt possibly test because its not till you have an entire player base, that regularly checks all the obscure corners of the game on varied tasks, to explore and uncover the problems, that you even know they have happened.

I wonder if all these emergency patches has anything to do with the upcoming expansion ?

They did back to back patches and that is not normal

Doubtful. They have two other environments for that kind of work (Beta and Test). Neither of those was impacted in the same way as Live.
