Dear Moroes,

I currently try out different private servers, so far I tried SoloCraft, ChromieCraft and this one.
As a casual gamer, I really like that you can spawn bots on this server in case you need them for raids or party dungeons.

However, what I don't like is the short mob respawn timer on this server.
The mobs respawn significantly later on official servers and on other private servers like ChromieCraft.

The Frontpage says "Warstorm delivers a blizzlike experience, staying faithful to the original game..." that's one reason why I chose this server,
the short respawn timer makes questing unecessary hard though and doesn't feel blizzlike.

Are you planning to raise the respawn timer at some point?

Hello, the respawn timers were dynamically increased because we also have regular bots farming in level areas, and we didn’t want this to hinder regular players. However, I’ll set them to Blizzlike timers and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion!

Awesome, that's great to hear!
Thank you for the nice job you've done with the server.

I guess this will be in effect with the next server patch/restart?

I agree with the op. I spent about 30 minutes getting out of the cave in Redridge with the NPC that I had to rescue. He walks so slow that NPCs keep respawning so fast we could barely get a chance to move toward the cave entrance... the respawn rate doesn't work like this for quests like this and I had 3 same level Player Bots in my group. 
I have played many of the other private servers with bots and really like this one, I love PVE (hate PVP) and I love how the bots work and don't get in my way like on other servers. The only other thing for me is lag... but then I'm half a world away so 375ms will just have to be acceptable to me (another reason PVP is not good for me) . But I love this game and have played it since version 1.2 way back in 2004. Thank you for making this wonderful server Smile

Yes, I have made similar experiences (except for the high ping).
Unfortunately the respawn timer is very low again, after a short period of being on blizzlike timer settings.

Maybe we can get one realm with blizzlike respawn timer if it's a problem to raise the respawn timer on all realms?
