My guess is it has something to do with the tents blocking people, especially around the moongates. I hope they turn them back on soon.

We did have to turn off the Gypsy Camp spawns. The reason was because they were causing issues with house security when they were spawning beneath the wings of towers.

We have a fix in testing for next publish that will re-enable the Gypsy Camps and keep them from causing problems with towers.

I was unaware that we had not announced the deactivation of the Gypsy Camp spawn. I apologize that no update was given.

While they are turning on spawns I wish they would turn back on the Evil Mage Tower spawns. I always loved seeing them and having a chance at some blood tiles.

I have done a little digging into this. The Evil Mage Towers were completely deactivated for reasons involving server lag, where the Gypsy Camps were not causing problems. There are larger risks and difficulties associated with restoring the Evil Mage Towers. Right now we aren't scheduling to bring them back. If we do find room in the schedule, it's likely they'd have to come back in a different form from before, probably using small towers instead of the large ones.
