Missing npc's and npcs under world/ fallen from spawn points

[ryoujikaji]

<p>Hi I seem to be having a weird problem in eq2 where npcs,mobs and whatever seem to be missing at times. like in butcherblock the bird npcs will sometimes be on the ground at the beach instead of being up in the cliffs, and in kelethin when i enter some buildings the npc's inside will be gone. sometimes ill be able to see them when im at the door and looking in, but when i go inside they disappear, but alot of them have fallen from kelethin and are on the ground unclickable/hailable. the only way that seems to temporary fix it is to log off and back on then they are in the right spot. </p><p>Any help would be great thanks.</p>
