Today an Adventurer player send out an OOC message about an apparently broken sage.  I tried to pass on the message via the Bugtracker but it would not let me log on or even create an account.  I figured I would come here and paste the message since this is my only other chance to do so.

How long are sages/wizards supposed to stay in one area? I've been in the same area as this wizard for at least a week now.

They seem to be much harder to find now. I haven't seen a single one aside from the one I found right after the changes went live, almost a month ago. Before I would have seen at least four or five in that time.

There was also a bug that made it even harder to find them. I fixed that yesterday, so it should be quite a bit easier now (bug fixed and a few more sages).

For me, its nearly impossible to find a sage now. I found one and then he dissapeared after I repaired one item, and I had 2 to repair!

Are we supposed to not be able to repair our different items with the same sage?

Sometimes he will stay, sometimes he will leave.

And again, please check the area now, your experiences for the past week or two were tainted by a bug that made it much more difficult to find a sage than it should have been.

The thing is that in a region A they told me they saw "Pericles" passing by, but when I check the surrounding regions there is no "Pericles" around and when I go back to the region A they still say the same to me, and clearly "Pericles" is not around anymore...

Another thing in another region B: I repaired one of my items with "Shirari", after that she disappeared, after that I get the message that "Shirari" was seen passing by, again I check all the surrounding regions and far beyond too and there is no "Shirari" around, later on I return to the region A and the same message is still there but there is no "Shirari" nowhere...

It's kind of frustrating to me.

Uh, actually, there was a bug in the code. Sorry for that. The message was misleading so far, it is correct now.

Also please note that sages and wizards often travel a lot slower than nobles, not having horses and stopping at small villages along the way to chat with the peasants, or to meditate in a caves. It can take several days for them to arrive at their next destination. As long as you get that "passed through recently" message, they are at most one region away.

Where is this "passed through recently" message found? I still have not found a sage or wizard though I did hear of two near Itau (Dwilight) but they where gone before I made it there.

Is this a message about a Sage too?

 You hear rumours that Sniss passed through here recently.

Because there is no one called Sniss at Dwillight...
