the ID field in npc_types is auto increment why would you need to specify it unless you really want it to be a certain number.

You do not have to, but there is a reason for the design as is. It makes it simpler for people who have no idea what they are doing to keep things organized.

Really? I guess you would be the type to enjoy remembering that 999231-999245 go in your starter zone and 999246-999300 go in newb zone one....

Or could just go with the standard established by peq.

I think what wolfwalker is trying to say is that he is possessed of intelligence rarely seen in the world, and that NPC's in the PEQ database are numbered with the first 3 digits of the npc_id representing the zone_id that is their home.
