Iv'e noticed lots of random NPCs get posessed by DMs briefly and it's really added flavor to the server, so that's really cool. What I was thinking is that it'd be awesome for characters to be able to interact with other NPCs, leading to much awesome roleplay, this may be sounding a bit vague so here's a few examples:
Pissing Crone employees may begin to notice that cyrus leaves his bar when business is slow, further investigation of this may lead to the startling realization that Cyrus gives info on crooks to the watch, for the right price. (business is hard after all!)
Or maybe Sheriff Azzam is having an affair with two prostitutes in lower, (That actually sounds familiar so maybe something like that happened already...)
This kind of stuff could lead to really fun roleplay, maybe could lead to blackmail material and things like that.
You guys are already doing a great job with the NPCs anyway, so no worries, I'm not complaining or anything. But it would be definately be fun to see every now and then.

This is something we definitely do, and will continue doing. Never hurts to have more, I agree!

Actually, I've noticed a distinct increase in NPC/DM activity in my play times. I never expect it, but it always makes me warm and fuzzy when it happens. Kudos to you guys, you know who you are!

Yeah I agree with ommadawn, it is pretty awesome, and I quite much enjoy it. I mainly made this sugestion because one of my good ole' characters is in the business of blackmail and such. I don't want you guys to do all the work for me, but it'd be nice to know I could blackmail a few NPCs that have sucessfully screwed me over.

This is why most players play these servers. DM activity.
You are all doing a fantastic job, but a little more spice for the lower levels would be nice.

Yeah more low level DM quests would be off the hook, but It has been happening lately. One of my recently retired goblins characters and a group of other goblin characters were hired by a small beggar boy in lower to beat up a beggar for his money, afterwards we killed the boy and made had the stewmaster turn him into stew.... so yeah, it is happening and it's good fun, we were only levels 2-3 btw.

We're getting some double up here, this is much the same as the thread in the General Discussion forum!
More so because I think this is stuff we do already, or are trying to.

Alright well to put my last two cents in I just want to state my want to have more opportunities to take advantage of NPCs! I demand it!
lol seriously though, great job.
