I played years ago (server 3), got fed up with it when we merged and quit. I'm back now and playing on an age 2 server. I just found this thread that mentions NPCs disappearing. What's the point of that? This week I've created 2 different NPC5s and the next day they were flats again. How am I supposed to build up an NPC farm? I don't really want to be a jerk and farm my neighbors.
