I really like the Heidel Castle makeover. However - I suggest to put a few NPCs inside (e.g. a few guardsmann standing left and right of gates, on the walls, and strolling around in the courtyards, maybe a cook and a few other random NPCs). The place feels dead.

or at least put the guards back in, just without attacking you. It looks pretty cool, but dead

I'd imagine it's a work in progress, setting it up for something to come.

It would be nice if they stopped releasing dead content, or actively killing content. 

Would it be too much to ask for a living world to play in?  It felt like we had that back in 2020 when I started playing.  I miss those days.
