... And I guess that having a 1-hour window of spawns once one mob does spawn would also not help to reduce the tracking requirements as much, since you couldn't just have 1 tracker watching 1 of the 7-day mobs and then when it pops you know they are ALL up.
I'm concerned about this too. But it's not that big of a deal and it's not that far off from classic - in 2000 knowing that one 7-day mob spawned usually meant that another had either spawned already or was on its way very soon, because server resets caused mobs to die around the same time (and therefore respawn around the same time). Also server resets (both on Live and on p99) allow you to know that all mobs are up if one is up, and that's classic too (so here if there's a patch, I can check if Vox is up, and if she is, I can be pretty sure that all the other mobs are up too, meaning I don't necessarily need a tracker in every zone).

All of these ideas would take away from velious development, ...
I'm not sure what you're saying, could you clarify?
