I thought the no despawn on the undead mobs were purposeful? Guess not.. Oh boy, Kithicor is always scary to go through on this server. Should be interesting to see the change.

Yes, I've also always been wondering about that quote from eqatlas. But there is counterevidence too:

"I thought it might be helpful for people to know that the undead BEGIN to pop at 8:00pm and FINISH depopping at 8:00am (tracking was useful in finding this out)."

But then there is also:

"although be warned, the druid was still picking up high level undead on her track at 10AM....guess they didn't despawn yet."

Several classic sites describe Kithicor as safe place during daytime, and IMO it is extremely unlikely that people were hunting these undead so intensively that they all had typically disappeared during daytime.
I bet that the auther of eqatlas was there once around 7-9am game time when some undead hadn't despawned yet.

That was not the case and it's derailing the thread anyway. The issue here is that ever since the server was taken down due to the repeated DDoS attacks, this zone hasn't worked properly.

A lot of classes cannot do turn in quest items because this zone is borked. Any news on a fix for this? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
