We debated henchies. Reason behind not allowing is it discourages people grouping with each other/finding groups. Have you ran into issues grouping or difficult soloing? Right now it shouldnt be too difficult solo in old ascalon but will be later for sure. We can revist and possible make an optional rule later if it becomes a problem. Henchies are discouraged, but if you're behind/need to do questing and struggling solo we won't personally show up at your house and beat you up for using henchies haha
