Kaimetsu, I'm not arguing about it form a technical standpoint. I don't feel I am adequately equipped at this time to do so.

However, as a generic player, I have experienced NPC Server downtime (thus freezing NPC's), some coding that no longer works online, and coding that can only be tested online, and things I cannot remember at this time.

Nappa, my point was that as a non developer, but as a random generic character, I feel that whatever the NPC Server may or may not do, it has had a negative overall impact.
