NPC Spawn Issue: Wakening Lands - Static Mercenary Groups Missing?

[Thulghor]

This one I'm a bit unsure of. I remember there being static mercenary groups in Wakening Lands fairly early on, but I'm not sure when it was actually implemented (or if it was always there). Like the one mentioned here:

the way i do it....

There is a barbarian mercenary in kael that you can turn the supplies into. On the way to WL from noble helssen there is that long path leading from the bank with giants stationed on little platforms on the left and right. In the first little platform on the right that you pass coming from the bank is where he spawns. Turn the suplies into him, and he will despawn (respawn is 30 minutes). There are 3 more stationary mercinaries in WL that are easy to get to. Leaving Kael into WL turn right and follow the zone wall. You will soon hit a corner where the wall of kael ends, continue on and you will pass all the static spawned giants, a little further and you will see 3 trolls. They are mercinaries which you can turn in the supplies to, which despawns them (respawn 30 minutes also). note: there is a chance that when the mercs despawn a PH will spawn in their place, which is a captain which you cant turn the supplies into, the mercs are much more common than the captain though.

I know at least one of them has to do with this quest, which may have been added later (based on the 2003 dates):

I seem to recall that the static groups were already there, the named NPC (Captain Glarg) was just added to one of them (and I think it subsequently became a roaming group).

I'll see if I can dig up some more information on this matter.
