    Yea, cities are pretty empty.
    what about adding NPCs wich walk around to give it some life.
    and adding like some NPCs that chase others and that they walk in groups of up to 3 NPCs.
    And that Rebel Bases have also some NPCs.
    I would add some stuff in the Rebel Base in the middle of it, like more boxes and stuff like that.
    This is just an little adittion:
    Maybe making that if you attack somebody, and a NPC sees it they attack you too. But if you both have a weapon in their hand, they will not attack you.

    I think this would be a lot of work to implement and it could also cause lag if there's loads of NPCs around. Just for a visual effect, I don't think it's needed. -1.

    not many npc.
    if i...
    ok 200 NPCs.
    yea i should find out how much that would lag.

    and you could reduce that to about 80.
    If you give cities and rebel bases 8 NPCs and cartels 4 NPCs you have about 110 NPCs. But because there is never at least one player at a base or city or castel, some of them are often empty.
    And as long as there isnt ever a player at a place, theese mobs wont be loaded.
    So about 80 NPCs.

    This would be cool, but it's a lot of dev time to just add something "cool".

    It's a fun and creative idea, but as Twister and SoCool said, it takes to much dev time and it might causes lag. And if you add walking npc's to a rebel base, they will annoy the gun pvp as in they will catch the bullets instead of your enemy. Although it is a new and creative idea.

    ok, i searched for some plugins that would do that.
    and surprise surprise
    the plugin called citizens has such a fetaure already.
    and they wouldnt catch the bullets if there are only 8 npcs spread around the base.

    As far as I've been told, we can't use public plugins because of our wonderful backend

    its basically just a plugin where you have villagers who follow their waypoints, and they attack all rouge players in PvP zone.
    It would take some time, but would be worth it.
    Its a bit weried to be in a rebel base with just two rebels and that would make this server much better.

    200 npc's is a lot of entities for a visual effect, honestly it's a bit overkill.
