If you have evidence of animals being more prevalent on live in this era, please make a thread in the bug forum. I think you're probably on to something, but the devs won't make changes without evidence, so I'd look for old screenshots or forum posts that document what you're talking about.

Went last night with a couple druids to gather up a couple keys...nothing but frogloks and skeletons running around. We were rolling with druid track so we were there a while and were all over the place. Interesting observation.

The skeletons and frogs don't attack each other, which is retarded because undead attack every player relentlessly.

I don't know if skeletons attack the animals never seen it either way but the frogs gradually replace all animals with other frogs or skeletons.

When you look on old Alla posts there's not a single mention of animals fighting frogs at all.

But there are multiple references implying the frogs/cats/vines/dinos are equally prevelant. They talk about finding cats easily and stuff which just isn't the case here.

This is what you need to post in a bug thread. The actual old posts / evidence. Devs rarely (never?) change things based on anecdotes from current players.

It was already a pretty high level camp and most people didn't know to farm there, those that did didn't share their secrets.

No one knew it'd be broken years later on an emulator and took evidence. No one had that kind of hindsight.

People mostly ran through to get to seb.

It's not a great zone for regular hunting. I doubt there's much in the way of anything. Even standing around in the middle of the zone to take shots would be very dangerous in the real under-geared classic days with no jboots.

I don't know at what point anecdotes become data, my brother and I farmed this on live many expansions post pop. Never saw the mobs fight and it was teeming with vines and tigers and chickens.

Just logically why would you have a huge spawn table just for everything to get wiped out, it's not like the courier where it's a balance issue and it's supposed to be hard to get. What is the point of having a variety of animals and having them insta killed. It doesn't make any sense to make a cockatrice that drops nothing a rare spawn...
