 Re: v5.1 Note - NPCs not there at times when they should be
Is this behaving better in 5.9?
Most outdoor NPCs (commoners/shopkeepers/streetmerchants) will be around during the day and gone at night. Most appear in town at 06:00 and leave at 18:00 though some appear later in the morning at 08:00 or 10:00, those ones also leave a bit later in the evening, 20:00 or 22:00.
The working girls will appear in NP at night and a lot more tavern patrons will appear in the taverns at night.
Guards tend to be there regardless of time of day.

Basically the only time this is critical is if a shopkeeper or quest npc (Kinwit, the random store halfling in NP and calduil the OW pawnshop) don't appear during the day. If it's 12:00 - 16:00 and they're not there it is definitely a glitch.
These glitches are lag related not a problem in the code (unfortunately.. problems in the code are easier to fix.)
