Pehaps this was unusual, and I know that mobs have been moved around a bit here and there, but as i was following the road from NU towards Mugen, before reaching Surgut, at roughly 55, 88 coordinates, I was attacked by 4 defenders, (2 lvl 9, 1 lvl 6, 1 lvl ?) + 1 tallafooter lvl ?, i don't think a newcomer could handle that.. or even one of those. Just request slight shift left or right of the road so that the road would be relatively clear of these medium/high mobs. (of course newcomers could avoid the red dots as much as possible, but still, it would be nice if they didn't have to stray too far from the road on their path to NU).
