Guys, you've been able to make permanent NPCs that survive server reset in Age II for quite some time. I did a search on these very forums two months ago and found the information I needed to do it. Ever since, I've had a collection of 10-15 new 5s, 8s, 9s and 10s around me. It's not a cheat, its not an exploit, it just requires an understanding of how the servers operate...which somebody much, much smarter than me figured out a while ago.

You need a free city slot (obviously), and a teleport, the ability to capture NPC cities, and patience. That's pretty much it. The only thing that costs anything is the teleport, which most people already have a number of by doing quests and from the wheel.

I'm pretty sure a google search will still find the post, I know that's how I found it.

Just FYI
