How difficult would it be to keep KO thralls in their locations when server restarts? My followers just go to scouting status and stay where they were before the restart and the locations of the NPC where you knocked the out is still blank after restart so I don’t think it would be an issue but I’m not a game designer.
It is probably the most frustrating thing as you find that elusive blacksmith only to get the 5 minute alert and realize you probably don’t have enough time but try anyway and get within 50 m of the wheel before it shuts down and you lose out. It’s far more frustrating than getting offlined.
