Broken Newbie Areas?

[buffug]

one of the first things i noticed when i started playing was that in newbie areas, mobs spawn in more areas than they used to and path a bit differently. in EF for example, you'd never see polar bear cubs spawning and pathing out and about in the tundra, while large spiders were at the tunnel to halas. could very well be that newbie mobs are spawning further away and wandering off. this problem doesnt exist in WFP or NQ where the areas are very small, and doesnt seem to be happening in MT either.

I haven't seen a Fire Beetle in NEK in ages days. There was some definite change to the spawn rate of newbie mobs from what I can see.
