Well, the founder of the town, Major Jax, has posted a couple of times the the majority of the householders (mostly WORM members) have closed their accounts...where that leaves Dreadwood, only time can tell.
I placed there as well, hoping to see a revitalization of Fel, but so far I haven't seen much action either. I'll just keep grinding away at these poison kegs, at least I'm finally into RoT...
