Simulated Patch Day Repop's

Same thing. When there was downtime/patch days, there were spawns. Spawns were far more often than 7-9 days (more like 8 or 9 days which everyone has noticed and Hobby has said is *mostly* accurate.)

I remember days when the emarr server (and i assume others) would be restarted multiple times a day..especially in 1999-2000. "Oh, shit guys.. fire beetles are dropping rubicite and gigantic zweihanders, bankers are duping plat" etc, and they would restart it 5 times or so within 24 hours before they fixed their problem. Every npc would respawn, with each restart.

With that being said, I can't rationalize multi-spawns as being intended by verant/soe. If their servers at the time ran as well as ours does now (lol), they would have only brought it down for scheduled maintenance or patches.

I have discussed with Rogean.. some ideas to statistically increase the amount of raid targets, without needing downtime to achieve them.

In conclusion, it's not the same thing. When you say spawns aren't classic, you are referring to our servers not having to be constantly restarted. I'm not sure that this would prevent people would camping them, either.
