Forgive my insolence, Ranger... but I do not believe this to be true. You can Hail, NPC_Name in /say and the NPC will not reply unless you have them targetted. No? Maybe it's been too long.

There is also the proximity features in our quest system for getting NPCs to "get your attention" or such. I imagine one could use proximity to have a specific NPC launch into a specific task... but i haven't gotten prox to work yet on my server.
