I have too agree with some of this we do need more things to kill but im sure it will be worked on over time...Dev's really got there hands full right now,but with a game like this the possibilities are endless
Well when you say "NPCs" do you mean computer-controlled entities we can interact with in a non-combat way? Because if you just mean stuff to kill, then that's mobs. And there will be more of those, they've just turned them off for the moment to see how that affects lag. If you mean characters we can trade with and get missions from, I believe the devs have said there will not be any of those.
