The Relocate Griftah Foundation

Now, now, I wouldn't worry about Griftah.

He's a bright and enterprising troll.

Sure, he may be in dire straits now, but a clever fellow like him? I'm sure he'll bounce back...

;)

Q u o t e:
I also made a little bug report about how Grok the ogre in Lower City hasn't realized that Griftah moved and is still talking to him about his stuff not working.

I'll have a talk with him. Grok's a little slow.

Oh, and for the record, Griftah was unable to haul away the entirety of his usual stock as he had to leave in a hurry. Any differences in his wares are intentional....

EDIT: ...but may not be permanent. ;)

Q u o t e:
As far as the official blue response in this thread, I have only one word to say: ret-con. Okay, maybe more than one word: There's no grand plan to involve Griftah in some intricate quest line to explain his inexplicable change of address; it's all a b.s. smoke screen to cover up the fact that he's been moved because whiney retards like to complain, and the even whinier in-game GMs can't handle it. Again, my almost wunderkind-like ESP into the psyche of Project Managers everywhere has led me to this inescapable conclusion.

I can say with the utmost confidence that you are incorrect. There is no ret-con occurring here, and the changes to Griftah were not done as a result of player or GM complaints. I assure you, had that been the case, his amulets would likely have been removed entirely rather than merely relocating the NPC.

They were done in the interest of making the world a bit more interesting, and from the vast majority of responses, it appears that motivation is a success.

Wait and see. :)
