Miscellaneous: Missing mobs in nektulos

[Elleve]

I just started up an inkie wizard yesterday and noticed mobs missing in Nektulos forest. I could see no fire beetles or decaying skeletons anywhere near the newbie log where they used to be. Infact I haven't seen a single fire beetle in the zone at all!

It makes it rather troublesome to start levelling in this zone since all I'm able to solo at lvl 2 are moss snakes and spiderlings (unless they poison me).
