thanks, cush. The problem is, at this point there are ONLY lvl 5s and up as to NPCs. Im nowhere near taking anything like that. Its obviously an old area, totally deserted except for two or three other players, and no place to build, barely a place to get low level hills or swamps.
Im thinking, with this many basically useless NPCs around (you gotta have serious power to take one of them) us, they may be on the verge of removing a few.
