Ok, so It's been like over 6 hours since the server rebooted and the mobs still arn't respawning as fast as they should.

Why does it take half a day for mobs to return to where they should be and re-pop after being killed?

A real answer from Nevrax would be lovely, or from anyone else who knows...
Surely that amount of time it far too long... This happens everytime... >_>

makes wastelands hell i kinda like it.

but i imagine the predator/herb ratio is set up to optomise (why cant i spell) at much lower levels than after reboot when every mob is present. the algorithms used to control it dont handle high levels too well, but fair play they work well after a while - i'd hate to be writing them and i had loads of AI lectures during my CS degree

(sorry for posting without actually knowing)

it's half day now ? it usually taked a few days...

but have you considered that, just maybe, mob spawns are working as intended after reboot and it gets fubar after that ?

Well thats what the GM said when I asked. (half a day)
While I really do understand and appreciate the fine work done to balance out the AI. I just think waiting that long is a bit much... and it doesn't seem so bad after a patch either... all very weird... ? @_@ ?

Maybe this could be improved on during a spring clean, if we have another one this year that is... =)

(I don't like digging for 12 hours =P)

I remember way back when I was levelling with sekh in Loria there were a couple of server resets that caused the mob to not respawn properly for at least a week. We used to go in, kill everything worth killing, then go to try to find some exp somewhere else. Hope it won't be that long this time, because that was a pain!
