I've just come into a city with NO people. I came there to take a quest from a Mayor, but he wasn't there. I went out to look at the city. Houses are empty. Shops are full of items, but there are no people. I found two groundhogs, though. One of them run away from me and the second was killed by me.
Any ideas what happened to city inhabitants?  
I repeat: I have searched the WHOLE city. No one. Not even a corpse.

It happens, generally in small worlds.
The city population either all died of old age, migrated to another site or were killed. It's rare though.

Eventually I suspect they will become ruins and be haunted and crap.

Well in the Old Spirit of things... PILLAGE!!!
Shops full of Items?Make use of em'!
Houses empty?Steal all the food!
Town hall abandoned?Take a nap!

in my unmodded game 38c, all towns shown as + were empty. Rare?

That's still impossible. It is still said that "You are carrying someone else's goods" and you can't [T]ravel

[Cthulhu]

Just leave the site.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Exactly,leave the area after gorging yourself on the luxuries.

Will that eventually be fixed? I want to be able to rob people blind! Shopkeepers should sleep in their shops, and if you can sucessfully sneak in and steal without them catching you, well, then it should be yours. You shouldn't be able to sell it back to them, cause it'd have a brand or mark or something. But other shopkeepers? Sure!

It's somewhat possible to do this, but not through stealth.  You can leave in order to access the travel map if you walk a very great distance away (the directional letters on the compass should turn brown), and then you can walk about normally, which will allow you to make off with goods that you took from shops.

However, trying to do it stealthily will just result in your lynching.  Everything you find in the shops has a built-in GPS tracking system that activates as soon as you stop sneaking, calling all nearby guards to your location.

[ThePaladin]

GPS system? Cool =)

[Bricktop]

For s short, but horrible moment I read that as "GCS system"...

It aounded like shop-keepers now had GCS guards.  :p

Q:  Do barrels in town still magically spawn food every 24 hours the way they supposedly used to in 2D (I never witnessed it myself)?  A ghost town could be an awesome resource.

Yes they do. I think... in 33g at least they did... but i never bothered stealing any for some reason. I don't see any changes about it though.
