Im on SS60 and can give you a very valid reason for not clearing npc's.
The following is but 2 of 15 pages of this name alone which by my calculations is 150 accounts in Moravia alone.
These accounts popped up after the last NPC Purge and there are many more besides this name, I have reported this matter to Evony and got the usual auto response, and these cities are still there.
