Default Chardok AE not classic

This was how Chardok was done before the revamp - because the zone sucked balls and the only good drops were purely random.
Copying and pasting my post from RNF:

If each message is 64 bytes (reasonable with protocol overhead), that's 12.8KB/s of bandwidth for spell messages alone, let alone the position packets etc. Meanwhile a 56kbps modem can handle only 7KB/s of bandwidth.
The same math with 40 mobs: 55 * 64 = just over 3 KB/s, which leaves about half of the bandwidth for the other stuff (reasonable).

Chardok AE is, to quote Obiwan Kenobi, a wretched hive of scum and villainy (and RMT). Limiting them to 40 mobs per pull would probably put most of them out of business.
