No halfling in the Blind Fish?

[Algustus]

I remember with considerable fondness the 1st time on live that one of my characters wandered into the Blind Fish. In the early days of live there was an intense amount of activity with vendors, especially ones as close to a major bank as the Blind Fish. But there was something very relaxing about watching the halfling paddling for his life as we deliberately lowered our stats with alcohol.

Today there is no halfling, and the Blind Fish feels disappointing. Did the halfling not make it to P1999? Did he get married, have a family and forget us? Is he making more money on unemployment then he can make working for dark elves? What happened to our halfling?
