Troll guards. Also Dwarf and High Elf guards mentioned.
Neriak Wizzies. That usually is the guards as well since they path into each other.
Here is another Neriak Guards.

Here is a site detailing killing guards...

I think it really was just the fact that people were scared to screw up their faction. This was the first BIG (imo) MMO and people didn't get all the concepts, or know all the shortcuts, or knew the long term effects of their decisions. If people understood ZEM and the effects on killing guards in a town there was no point in having faction with I am sure more people would have been killing guards. |
Yup, that is correct. You'll notice that a lot of searches turn up Necro hunting guides, that's because Necros already had hosed faction and didn't care about losing faction to places they were already KOS at.
Verant at the time kept telling people that faction was important because of quests, little did they know how fucking worthless faction was.

Guards were constantly camped EVERYWHERE until the May 12th 2000 patch. I killed Ogre guards all the time and Necromancers were notorious for soloing the good-aligned guards. After the patch people still camped the guards that hadn't been mega-buffed, although not as frequently because their respawn rate had been increased and people now had Kunark to go play.
I believe at a later date, not during classic era, guards were buffed yet again.

Spawn rates were messed with during the 2000 patch, but only the newbie guards at city entrances were megabuffed. The rest of the guards were left alone, that's why people moved inside to hunt places like Grobb/Oggok/Felwithe/Neriak/Kaladim/Freeport/Paineel/Erudin. Once Kunark/Velious came out, a lot of blue servers weren't so crowded so yeah guard killing decreased even though it was fantastic loot exp. To my knowledge there was never another patch, because there are Necro guides from 2000-2008 telling people to go hunt guards for loot/exp.
Being a Necromancer was awesome. Fuck faction, be KOS everywhere!
