i see what you're doing. but heres the problem, i can not predict the future. we believe this is the best, most fair way to do things based on the tools and resources available to us at the present time. if/when things change, a post will be made, and the rules will be modified. until that time there will be no further information available. i apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

as of now, this is the staff's answer to anything in regards to the spawn variance.

Q: Why is there a spawn variance? This isn't classic!
A: While we strive to be as accurate as we can in terms of classic content, this is something that we feel is necessary to keep things running smooth. We believe the spawn variance method promotes both fairness and competition. Please note that we do not refresh the mob spawn times with a crash or patch. On live all raid targets re-spawned with a patch which usually caused bunches of raid targets to spawn. So on live Nagafen or Vox kills were not always exactly one week apart.


i consider this question thoroughly answered, and will be ignoring or deleting any future posts on the subject of why theres a spawn variance or anything else surrounding spawn timers.
