The Anti-camp radius was a mythical method put into the game to prevent players from camping a spawn.

The idea was that if players were within some unknown distance from a spawn point which could pop a rare spawn OR the spawn had some rare item, the anti-camping code would either prevent that rare spawn from showing up (instead the placeholder would pop) or the spawn would not have the rare item.
I can recall two specific instances of this..
1) Camping the Arch Ghoul Magi in Lower Guk. We waited down the hall and around the corner. We'd wait to see the casting message before going to attack.
2) Camping the Ghoul Assassin - We waited down the ladder until something popped.
In both cases the group was sure that either the spawn would not show or that the rare spawn would only have the common item. Actually, I think I even remember there being some of this mindset while camping Drelzna for the Jboots. [You must be logged in to view images.

Anti Camp Radius does/did exist.
