May be on purpose. There's a couple tips involving nemesis replacing EVERYBODY.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
If only the devs could make PvP a Nemesis plot, they'd be in the clear.

I actually hadn't noticed, either. But then I've spent 99.9% of my time in Praetoria this month.

I still see many civilians wandering around Aeon City in Cap.

I'm pretty sure it's only a blue/hero side issue.

Maybe the Devs are just trying to drive home what a poor job the Heroes are doing and what a crappy place Paragon is? |

They moved them all inside any mission involving an Office Building map. I ran a mission earlier tonight where there seemed to be hundreds of them rushing around in a panic. A few times they even knocked by Scrapper away from the Villain she was attacking.. There's a great idea. The hero is here to rescue us so let's slam into her and knock her away from the bad guys. That way we can all go to the hospital together! ;-(
Actually do NOT upset the balance with questions like this.. At one point we ALL remember when there were SOOO many citizens hanging around City Hall the lag was rediculous. I believe they attributed it to street hunting heroes that were taking out mobs threating citizens or trying to steal purses but NOT staying around long enough to have the NPC say thanks. So instead of heading off to the nearest door and disappearing the NPC were all accumulating at City Hall desperately seeking to say thank you. LOL The lag was horrible but for those that recall those "good old days?" it was funny to watch some of the females mugging victims standing there having a tug of war with absolutely nothing .. as they went through their normal animations.

Where have the civilians gone? Long time passing.

Nice to see the people back on the streets, pushing hero and villain alike around.
Yup, I went AFK in front of my mission door in Steel and came back pushed into the street about a half-block down. The civvies are back!

Until I saw Noble Savage mention it as a bug, I figured they turned them off on purpose to ease lag for GR. It would be cool if they were programmed to walk AROUND us, or something. Don't get me wrong, all the civilians add to my experience, they help the environment feel more alive. But have you ever seen a nice old civilian lady hobble along and effortlessly push a huge 300-pound cyborg out of her way (while saying "Nice day, isn't it?")? Yeah. I know it's a small complaint, but it doesn't add to my experience.
