Sure there is a social aspect to it but to build spawn timers around that notion is crazy.

That's an insane reduction of what was actually going on. The social aspect of the game *was* a massive piece of the game back then. People *did* log in just to use it as a chat room.

And for a vast majority, it's not like they were killing one single spawn then sitting and waiting for 36* minutes. People were shit at the game and had bad gear and did bad damage. Holding a camp was not what it is today.


*interesting that you choose a number that's almost double the average respawn time of a dungeon, too.
