Thank you folks for your input! I have not played the game since this purge. !st I am tired of the game crashing and having to look for thralls or wait for them to magically reappear. Crashing on average once per hour just plain bites. And these crashes MAKE me hard reboot my computer. The thrall I had after starting the purge/game crash was totally lost. Hours and materials lost in a second.

2nd I only did the purge to get a tavern that is required for the current event. Seems you need some NPC. I am sure a lot of players already have one but being new it was the first time I even hear there was a tavern. So now I have to redo this purge and hope I win just to get a requirement for a timed event.

3rd I hate timed events. It is not because I do not have the time as I have been playing 40 hours a week. I just want to be able to do it when I am in the mood not be forced to complete a task like a monkey for a reward.

We really need to fear AI if top game companies can not even make a stable game, what mistakes are AI programmers making?

I am wearing redemption armor heavy and have 10 points in the archery/agility stats.

Yeah I am down and play games to have fun. Stability issues. wiping out hours of work in a couple minutes, Having to find thralls a lot. Timed events. This is not fun.
Why devs I have not played since this purge and I have 586 hours in the game and I am new to the game. I love the game, but a game that will not play properly is not a game.

Thanks again for the info IF I start to play again I will try your ideas.
