@Gothix said in NPC (Node Specific Towns):
And if NPCs aren't really doing anything then what's the point of having them.
Eye candy, looking at your fellow Demons all day can become (literally) hell, put some blonde humans in a kind of settler town.
On a serious note, I have always thought that NPC's have a function of bringing a town to live, they are doing things, making noise, maybe a town crier, artists. While most players just run around (if they are even in towns for a longer period). A town/settlement without NPC's can become dead quickly, especially in certain areas or play hours over the day.
