    * update * - The scene closed shortly after I reported this, and when the new scene loaded, the banker was back, and functional.
    I haven't been able to reproduce this again since that.

    Title: POT Vanishing NPCs

    Reproduction Rate: ?% Unsure of trigger

    Blocker? (Yes/No/Partial) Partial

    Details: Player Owned Town NPCs are vanishing / reappearing.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    a. Enter and leave POTs (roughly 1 hr apart, possibly caused at the point of instance creation)
    b. Observe: NPCs, including default NPCs, may be present or not depending on some unknown factor - possibly instance creation.
    c. See picture history that follows in this post. Time stamps are in Novia time under compass.

    Then gone again:

    And even the Default NPCs that can't be moved (notice: the Town Crier symbol on compass is directly in front of the avatar but no NPC.):

    I have noticed POTs in particular seem to be getting more 'this instance is now closing' msgs. It should always fix this when it happens. Please let us know if you guys find a pattern here.
