Additional remark to NPC scarcity: spent hours in Lothlorien yesterday (south of the river), expecting it to be teeming with life. It looked more like a killer virus had swept over it: met only about a dozen Elves in hours and ironically a deserted group of Dale hirelings was the most of any faction represented.. When I play on standalone, the Lothlorien woods are teeming with life! In the time I spent here yesterday, their numbers should have been in the hundreds: on standalone within a minute I usually get good mini-quests, but on the server I was first just waiting, then walking around half of Lothlorien and found about 2 mini-quests per hour from 3-4 Elves. Like a ghosttown.. At least half an hour I spent at one place and still no Elf showed up while animals appeared in normal numbers, so it can't be lag. I have the feeling there's either some huge issues with spawns or some NPC spawns have been bled on a purpose unknown to me. Ironically, Evil NPC's in other places appear to me all around and hobbits are plentiful as well.

Please, allow for more spawns in case it is a biome setting, as this takes the fun off of mini-quests. In addition it breaks immersion: those woods are far too large to only harbour a few dozen Elves, just like a mine deserves more dwarves. In case it has been set to lower spawn due to lag, then why do animals spawn in sufficient numbers? I would rather be at crawling speed, then have no NPC's, since Lothlorien is not a battleground scene anyway but a journey of discovery.
