The thought of moving to Wellington now feels more like out of the frying pan into the fire for me.
Just because people say that they haven't felt one in ages or just a handful doesn't really mean anything.
I only remember feeling one shake in Christchurch in the 4 years prior to Sept 2010 and here we are a few thousand shakes later.
I wouldn't let it up put you off, you just need to be aware and prepared.
As said before, you are more likely to be killed in a car crash, especially with some of the drivers over here lol.
Best of luck with your move.
