It took some time before all of the shoppers left once their orders are satisfied. Still, I am quite sure that the players will come back here again once their supplies ran out. With the monsters they are fighting quite strong to destroy that easily, if they could easily do that, they wouldn't be struggling a lot in ending things.
As for me, I remained passive while witnessing the situation. The wave of monsters is almost near the walls of the Insect Kingdom and the latter are already using high-level spells just to destroy the hordes of monsters. Not only the NPC soldiers are there, but I can also spot a lot of players as well. Seeing the number of players participating, it's not just small guilds but also huge guilds present. Seeing some carrying the flags and banners of their guilds means they have passed the 200-player threshold since they only get those the moment they have developed their guild house and expanded their facilities to accommodate 200 players.
