The most popular NPC Fad around... Standing inside each other doing nothing.

[shiviandragon]

So this has bugged me for a while, its not really game changing or anything, but it definitely detracts from the overall feel of Freeport. Groups of NPCs have a tendancy to stand close together, or physically inside each other, doing absolutely nothing. I remember when they all roamed around and it really did make freeport feel more alive. More often than not I see almost nothing but guards now. Here is some pics to show what I mean, along with a few links to others I took.(Dont want to spam the thread with pics.) <img src="http://www.rarebreedeq2.com/images/4.jpg" border="0"> Two groups having a competition! <img src="http://www.rarebreedeq2.com/images/8.jpg" border="0"> The champions of  standing Idle inside of each other.

They do roam around normally after the server is reset. But, after a few days their walking scripts break or get stuck and they just stand on top of each other. It's been like that for years. Othesus - Dirge - Lucan DLere Vaspar - Fury - Lucan DLere

ugh, I've /bugged this how many times now?  hehe <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   I wish they'd fix it, Freeport used to seem so alive, but with so many NPCs stuck like that, it seems like a ghost town <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Why can't this get some attention? It's a huge eyesore and probably an easy fix.

[Polywogus]

Aye, I've bugged this numerous times as well. Huge eyesore & lagsore at that =(
