Hmm, so maybe the table npc_types needs another field which determines if the npc is likely to loose interest in chasing someone? How about not just 0(stops chasing) or 1(never stops chasing) but 0-255. So if someone would put in the time we could have some more or less sophisticated code that determines aggro loss from different factors like distance to player, distance to spawnpoint and agressiveness(the 0-255 value).
I recon the enlarged re-aggro range from monsters that stopped chasing you since your last login would be harder to implement?

Can someone point me on the to the code that is supposed to handle chasing aggro?
