Again, not sure how to prove this one but let's say ur traveling to an npc in the distance, when you get there, they arent seen. the only way to see them is to relog, and there they will be. it's as if the "npc appear" packet isnt being properly recieved? i'm not sure how all that works. and as always, doesn't happen ALL the time, but often enough to be a drag.

after traveling to an NPC, some npc's will not show up, like this:

But after relogging,

You can see the cat and the injured person now show up. this happens with any NPC, even quest start and ends, shops, etc.

you should be able to re-create this by traveling between two npc's (or groups of npc's for more luck reproducing) who are "out of draw distance"
