Also, the new NPC's can't go to our town once we find them?

I had that problem in my old world as well. Worked in the new one, but not in the old. I was trying not to corrupt my artisitic world, but I think we screwed up by getting ahead of ourselves and defeating the boss after doing so in a second world exclusively for that purpose. Initially thought it was just after destroying the alters...

EDIT: After the boss was gone, the mechanic showed up. So, yeah... that might be it, and I indeed screwed up.

As for protecting your home, in our new world; since we already had movement buffs, we made it about 15 blocks from the ground with doors that had no outside standing point. That worked initially, but now mobs don't spawn anymore in the area at all at night. Haven't had to deal with a blood moon yet, but I believe this is part of the "citys will eventually no longer spawn mobs" deal. At cobalt stuffs and looking to spread the hollow to block the corruption on the other side ASAP.
