A database NPC does not lag that much thank you very much. You think i would suggest something that causes great amounts of lag? Adding TONS of server.strings (which I USED to do back in the day ) causes a bit o' lag. A d/b NPC doesn't create that much. Just because it doesn't have a level means nothing. It is STILL an NPC, and it is basically the same as if it WAS in a level, because the data is STILL sent to the NPC Server, and it is handled yet the same... he he.

let me reword this. If the npc was switching levels every .1 seconds. this would cause at least some lag.
