since you decided to capitalize "not" I will assume you strongly believe your statement to be true in which case it should not be hard for you to provide some concete evidence of this to the GMs so that they can make the change.

I don't recall the 6 hours. I distinctly recall him only being up for 2 hours and then despawning. I could be wrong, though. I haven't camped him in quite a while. But, he has specific pathing and once it's complete, he despawns.

[Badmartigan]

he is despawning on p1999.. anyone that does JBOOTS mq regularly knows this.

Weather 6 hours despawn is the correct ammount of time.. i do not know.. and im not going to look it up.. but i know this is the current behaviour.

Your counter-argument relies on the assumption that classic EQ was 100% fully documented. Have you seen patch notes for EQ? They more or less only reveal the major changes. Detail like this wasn't documented 100% back then while people were still discovering this shit/info sites were mainstream yet (like they are for WoW).

Perhaps in 2010 data is carefully documented, but 1999 was quite a new year for the "internet logicx"

Either way, if the despawn time were reduced it would only make life easier for everyone. What's the logic behind such a long timer? Having an unkillable mob pop as a 6 hour ph for a much more frequently used quest mob is just annoying.

Brother Zephyl has been up for 40 minutes now. =(

Here you go, read comments from 9 years ago showing that he despawns anywhere from 6-18 minutes:

Yepppp... 4 people just chilling in Rathe waiting for Hasten... read on Allakhazam that spawn timer was 20 minutes "back in the day"

edit: ^^exactly!

[Potus]

Hasten needs to hasten am I right guys?

Seriously this sucks.

Was this ever confirmed? He's been up since 8am this morning and it's 4pm now.
