I think we all can agree there will be loads of people on the server at launch and that can force plenty of people to camp on single mobs or quest items making questing pretty annoying. I think Nostalrius' staff should increase the spawning speed of items and mobs during first few hours after launch.

Do you really want to camp for hours on single mobs and quest items with dozens of other people who want to get it too? And you want that just because it's "blizzlike"?

They had to deal with it because Blizzard overlooked that problem. Blizzard realized it was a problem in TBC and then they implemented it. Why shouldn't it be implemented on Nostalrius just because Blizzard didn't think about it befor?
http://www.blizzardguides.com/burning-c ... guide.html"The big news though is that Blizzard has introduced new dynamic spawn rates for Outlands that changes the spawn rate for a Monster based on how many people are in the immediate mini-zone. So when there are 493 people camping the same named quest mob in Hellfire Peninsula on Jan 16, there will be an almost instantaneous respawn of the mob when it dies. "

I agree stone, it's something that should be implemented at least for the weekend. Who cares if that aspect isn't blizzlike. Blizzard made plenty of mistakes back at launch. It does not mean nos has to follow that same path. Especially on something so little yet vastly annoying. It will make the leveling experience more enjoyable for everyone. Honestly who would actually enjoy waiting 20+ min doing nothing but waiting on an item or mob to spawn.

Cute idea. But not Blizzlike at all.
No support from me.
