So I thought I'd ask here which NPCs people would like to see more of or hear from more, whether it's through news posts made by them, surprise appearances in the forums, eventst that might happen in the future, holidays, or a personal favourite of mine which I wish was utilised more: item descriptions. Or as battle challengers if they go back to having the regular Friendly Challengers like in 2018/19, or have another NPC with different challenger versions like Blake is currently getting.
I feel like the Quest NPCs get a lot of through all the items released in the Quest Shops, but not many other NPCs do. Even Holiday NPCs don't seem to get much of it either. For example, I wish Jaxon and Ian got more focus during Morostide, even if it is just through the descriptions of Morostide items. I was hoping for a wedding this year, but it seems like that's not happening due to real life isses with the staff, but I hope there will still be some more lore. And also Dungarde, he was popular during the 2018 plot (I know a user who really likes him) but we haven't heard about how he's been doing since the end of 2018.
I also wish the Shop NPCs had more focus and items related to them as well, especially the Shengui Guo ones since they're fairly new. Maybe that will happen when they finally finish the Tea House? I think there's a Cash Shop collection or two, but not much else about them elsewhere. And it would be nice if the shop NPCs who we hardly know anything about (the ones from Weapons Warehouse, Accessory Bin and Sole Train), but I heard they've been planned to be revamped and I'm not sure if they will have the same appearance or have very big changes to them. Although I would also like to see more of the other Shop NPCs too that we often take for granted.
So who would you like to see more of?
Archie the Reading Drive Archan, the Job Agency Irion, Morty King the Mortiking Banker, Rotten Rogue and Darkheart Phantom.
Bet you forgot about most of these NPCs, right?
I don't know much about him or the SAI either because I wasn't there for the 2011 plot where that was involved. Maybe if we ever get a plot or lore update about the stuff with Gunter and Bubbles, we can see more of him then? I also know another user who would probably like that.
I didn't know about the Archan, but I've heard of the others. It would be nice to see the anthro pet NPCs developed more, the only ones that are really featured are the Hustler, Melman, Selina (the Healer), Jeremy (the Pawn Shop NPC, who is also in need of a revamp), Alexander (Library quests), Chase (Item Hunt), and the Freyalise pirates. At least the Job Agency Irion is there whenever you go to sort out your pet's employment and collect income (I haven't been bothered to collect the income in a while though).
