Shattered Kingdoms

A tactic seems to have entered common usage, wherein people who are stopping in a room/common area for any duration will follow an NPC in that room to divert any follow attempts onto that pc's "leader" (the NPC) instead of the targeted pc.

I need to make this clear: this is a game exploit, and is related to gaining an advantage over player-killing (or avoidance thereof). As per the rules (help rules2, #7): exploitation of mechanics for player killing or item attainment will result in deletion.

Consider this fair warning: anyone found to be exploiting this bug within a reasonable time frame of this post being live will have their character deleted for rules violations. Anyone doing it prior to this post will not be punished for actions taken prior to this post - but they should take this as a warning to cease and desist.
