Back in 1999-2000, you were lucky to get 6 mobs per round of spawns for full group in LGuk or SolB. You could walk through the zone and find nothing spawned, as there were 100-120 people during prime time keeping everything on lock down.

The goblins in highkeep were 4-5 separate camps, not a single camp like on P99.

Karnor's on P99 is at capacity with 5 groups killing stuff, on live it was camped by 10+ groups.

Seb held 100+ players nightly. Entrance hallway was a full group spot, upper zone out was a full group camp, disco was 2 distinct camps, hallway to disco was a camp, crypt and emperor were distinct camps, juggs and reets were an actual camp, shrooms were a camp, king was his own camp IN THE ROOM.
Very true. I remember in Guk an average group held somewhere around 5-7 mobs every half hour. Leveling was brutal.
