Yes!! I've died about 5 times in the last few days in Mistmoore...No
one in the castle...furthest people back are in the graveyard and
we'll get a train of courtyard stuff that no one had gone to
pull...and what makes it worse is that these are unannounced until
they almost reach the zone. I moved to Unrest, where the trains are
easier to dodge.
