# of sand giants in Oasis (maybe Nro?)
So uh, something I noticed on the Fansy the Famous Bard site (here: http://www.notaddicted.com/fansythefamous.php) is that in all of his screenshots he has shit-tons of sand giants all following him at once. In screenshots like this one:
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You can clearly see around 10 sand giants. On p99 I've never seen that many up at once. Is this working as intended (aka it's currently possible, just unlikely that so many could be up at once) or is our server un-classically disallowing for more sand giants to be up at once? From his screenshots it seems he's in oasis also - I don't know if any of them are in Nro or Sro (I haven't checked that thoroughly) so if the same is true for those zones maybe that should be looked into as well.

Holy crap. Yeah, I only ever see maybe three SGs up at a time in Oasis. That's pretty insane if that's the legit amount.

My only explanation would be that Sullon Zek was brand new server. There were lots of lowbies killing placeholders, no one able to kill the SGs, and they accumulated.

So I decided to take the GM on a tour of Northern Ro... with giants as bodyguards

Having read the Fansy stories quite a number of times, I still found myself laughing when I read through this thread. Just... awesome.
"NPC Spawn Issue: <SOURCE: FANSY THE BARD>" I mean, there's no reason not to use it as a source, I just found it funny. | ||

Our spawns are set up very differently. The way things are now, there seems to be one spawn in North Ro, four in Oasis and four in South Ro. They've got a specific placeholder, it's one of the kinds of zombies I think. The seem to spawn sand giants somewhere around 25% of the time.
On live, I think any of the undead spawns could make a sand giant, but I think the chance of a giant spawn was much lower. And yes, the big trains early on SZ were before anyone could kill a sand giant. The hill giants in East and North Karana and Rathe Mountains don't act quite like live, either. The spiders in East Karana could respawn hill giants and so could the basilisks in Rathe Mountains. When I ran out of HGs, I rounded up all the placeholders and slaughtered them. That doesn't work here. I'm not quite sure how North Karana is supposed to work, but I remember getting slaughtered by a roaming Grimfeather in southern parts of the zone. | ||
