From the time I have spent in that area, the only real purpose for that town at this current point in time is to host the miners and maybe a quest or two. Otherwise every time I have run around town, the only people I have seen come running into the smith furnace and stock and avoid the rest of the town.
I said yes because in order to get other areas of the town used, there has to be NPC's that fill the roles of support staff, such as a tavern keeper for beer, food, etc... and then more shop keepers in various locations to train other skills, much like there is in Hydlaa. As it is now, I believe there are only 6 NPC that train or sell items, compared to around 10+ in East Hydlaa itself.
If we want Gurgontid to become a busy city, with all the money spent there by the miners, would allow it to expand as needed, a barkeep is the first of several support staff I would like to see there.
