Lack of Sacrificial Altar:
Biggest issue is that the Grotto has no Sacrificial Altar for reviving dead players. Checked both the Upper Grotto and the Svirfneblin Village and neither of them have one. Which means you have to venture out into the UD or jump through server transition hoops to the Altar in Brog.
The Gnomes keep blocking things:If we could have at least one Sacrificial Altar somewhere in the Grotto/Village, either dedicated to Garl or Callduran it would make resurrecting less of a headache.
Several of the Grotto Gnome NPC like to wander around which is fine. Apart from three specific Gnomes who like to block certain facilities. Which I've illustrated here https://imgur.com/a/G7PCqob
Gnome 1 generally just stands blocking the shop here constantly. On the rare occasion he does move its to block the signpost of the shop.
Gnome 2 is only a minor problem. He tends to stand infront of the shop or invite himself into the nearby hut.
Gnome 3 is really really thirsty. She spends her nearly all of her time blocking the fountain here. If she does decide her thirst has been quenched she'll wander over to the Source Portal and sit on it for awhile.
Not sure how these wandering NPC are programmed but if their 'roaming areas' could be tweeked so they no longer block useful areas of the Grotto that would be great thanks.
I know the Dev Team is always hard at work and I appreciate all that they do for the server. Just hope this can be added to the todo list.
