Nektulos Forest
 

So, there should be Giant Snakes in Nektulos Forest, thats where I started as wizard around this time on the real severs. One of the 1st good drops I got was from a Giant Snake and it was the snake fang, which is just like a dagger. I've not seen one Giant Snake, also the pyramid in Nektulos never had decay skeletons in the static spawns, it was always, skeletons, lesser mummies and zombies. There should be more young Kodiaks around the pyramid area, no so much black bears. Just doesn't seem as dangerous as it should be over all, should be more higher level mobs walking around. An no there were not lots of people in the zone, mostly just me.

but can you provide any evidence

I noticed a lack of young kodiaks around the spire as well, I also didn't see any shadowed men down in the ditch by the ecommons zone line or undead along the mountain range at lavastorm zone line (though maybe they were put in later)

The shadowmen aren't supposed to be around yet. They were at launch but were then removed. Pretty sure they come back when Sol Ro Temple drops.

I'm sure if you provide evidence they'll look into it. That being said, are you sure you're not mis-remembering from 20 years ago and mixing up the commons and Nektulos a bit? I remember Kodiaks being much more common in the (no pun intended) commons than they ever were in Nek.

There were never giant snakes in nektulous. Only large snakes.

Prof?

I remember gnolls being playable when are you adding the gnoll race that starts in blackburrow?

P99 really needs the "you get to play an NPC for one life!" mechanic to pop up randomly and rarely when you go to log in. Except not just lowbie mobs.

edit - Project M! That was it.

I loved that option! i loved playing as a giant rat, and getting it up levels haha
