Instead, they'll reaggro the monk when he stands up unless they have returned to their spawn point or a certain amount of time has passed. This makes pulling easier at times and harder at other times.
I'm pretty sure that was changed before Kunark, in the fall of 1999. There was a big Monk sit in on one of the servers in like October of 1999 due to the changes to FD. I was working that day, so I wasn't able to attend. Smed showed up as a giant gnome to talk to everyone. There were some tweaks after that, which involve the 35th level cutoff due to the input from the monk community, but the main change was months before Kunark came out. That may be what the server is using now, because there wasn't a "Your enemies have forgotten" you message in classic live EQ.

Edit: I'm off a little on my timeline. The changes went live December 1st., which is still 3 or 4 months before Kunark went live.
