I have spoken to a few others who are having this problem as well. Most of the NPCs on Chaos seem to be out on vacation with only a few actually where they should be. Like all the Brist NPC's are MIA, half the NPCs in my lair are MIA. I opened a ticket on this, just was wondering if it was only myself and the few I talked to or if it was more wide spread.
