Yes the idea of a bustling Adventurer's guild comes from having actual Adventurers. I like the idea of having roaming NPCs for sure though, but mostly the intention was to have what XI had a lot of players in the city centers.

You can't have too much activity either I imagine for loading reasons. A bit more life would be welcomed but most of it should really be coming from the players themselves.

Oh yeah that was really cool, added a lot to the immersion factor.

yeah ^^ was ok with that too, what was frustrating though is their limited supplies so that everyone would squat the vendor shop to be the first one clicking it :/

I enjoyed this a great deal.
I still remember sitting down by the docks in Windurst waiting for the few boat shops to open.

I enjoyed it before all the RMT's showed up with their Level 1 characters buying out all the items I needed to level up crafting lol But yeah having the store open/close or having NPC rotation will give it bit more life to the stores as well. I don't mind it closing either as long as the item stock doesn't run out or price changes like in XI.
