Kobolds

[Yasik]

The log is below.
At this state I consider The Kobold Village is not newbie-friendly area.
In my player's opinion, it was better before, and not overpowered at the same time.

Suggestion #1: to remove 'assist' function;
Suggestion #2: to remove 'rescue' function;

Suggestion #3: In BH town, make rats unfleeable; if a newbie chooses to start in BH, the first mob they will hunt will be rats, but the newb dont know how to deal with fleeing mobs yet, so if his exp flees - this will lead to frustration.

Suggestion #4: kobold-mercenary, it need to be dealt with somehow, either remove him entirely, or make him unattackable by players as it "ignores attemt to attack", or anything else that does the job. This merc just killed me and my low-level groupmate, totally messed our exping.

Suggestion #5: spirit of Splork in Newbatia Colledge - same as #4; newbie attack it, dies, then cant find his eq.

If a newbie dies in kobold village but no one posts it on the crier, does it still make Juggleblood cry?
