I listen to the announcement go off, looks like the kingdom of Alsoma has fallen, all the starting cities in that area are now unusable. The populations of other starter cities will rise, and all the people who haven't left the starting cities in Alsoma will be transported to a new random starting city till they can leave it. The armies of our adversaries are going to cause hell for awhile, I know I wont be strong enough to stop the army by myself and the best of the best players are only around level 35 right now. When the players begin to reach level 50 and do their tier up quests many will probably join the war, after they do their mana aura quests of course. So for now the NPC's are on their own, and I'm sure a lot of powerful NPC's will becoming out of the shadows to make sure the humanoid race doesn't die.
