Broken Newbie Areas?

[Makeda]

I must agree about Everfrost, I try hard to kill bears and spiders and I must look around for ages to find one lol

I also noticed a big difference in Nek - too many mobs to not enough after the patch. Also - where the heck did all the bixies go?!?! Haven't seen a single one in Nek, or Commons for that matter. Not that I mind no griff spawns in commons now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

one of the first things i noticed when i started playing was that in newbie areas, mobs spawn in more areas than they used to and path a bit differently. in EF for example, you'd never see polar bear cubs spawning and pathing out and about in the tundra, while large spiders were at the tunnel to halas. could very well be that newbie mobs are spawning further away and wandering off. this problem doesnt exist in WFP or NQ where the areas are very small, and doesnt seem to be happening in MT either.

I haven't seen a Fire Beetle in NEK in ages days. There was some definite change to the spawn rate of newbie mobs from what I can see.

Anxiously awaiting hearing about the next patch when spawns are adjusted, and seeing petitions about guards getting mowed down by "thousands and thousands of Froglok Tads" in Innothule.

Reminds me of when i was on live with my rogue. After the revamp of Ct they moved all the lvl 30ish mobs out front, so id gather them all up and head to oggok, bang an escape and watch the lizards raid oggok.

That's good and all. I find it funny and interesting. But I would [pay money] to see, literally, hundreds of Froglok Tads rampaging through Innothule. They're probably my favorite NPC in all of Everquest.

Wow, I created a dark elf alt and tried logging it on yesterday and... Nek is a ghost town.

There are more PC corpses than mobs by Neriak.

Yeah it seems to be that way everywhere I have seen excepting FP. Was thinking maybe it was just the smaller area but even Paineel's noob yard is p dead. I know this may seem like something insignificant but for anyone new joining, having to spend 5 minutes looking for a mob to kill might get a bit frustrating and discourage them from playing. *shrug*

Qeynos, Freeport. and Butcherblock seem like the best newbie yards ive experienced.

[MATPHAT]

Innothule seemed better yesterday.
Lot's of lowbie mobs outside Grobb.
