Alas, many of the eqmobs rely on the room they reside in to provide them
with special protection (cloning minions, restricting exits etc). Having
them switch around to other locations kind of disables those special
features, making them in some cases far too easy to kill.

There are quite many mobs which dont get much advantage from
surroundings. And would it be too suffeli if some party finds
Soth instead of Belan once a year max?

Yes, it doesn't make much sense to me to just swap one monster around.
The areas are built with a certain theme, are stocked with smaller
mobs representing that theme, right before you go to the main mob. With
this change you'd have a bunch of slaads surrounding the Grand Master
Torturer?

Maybe I'm narrowminded but I don't really see much benefit in this
event.

Since when are events beneficial? :)

Events are untimed, spur of the moment, happenings that bring some spice and
unpredictability to the game. They may be beneficial, harmful, stupid,
annoying, or completely useless. But aren't many things in life like that
anyway.

I know...here's a solution to both arguments...what we can do is have the
cataclysm event switch the entire areas around...this way you preserve gore's
point of keeping the area's theme going, along with the other people's point
of going to one place and finding soth instead of gaward or whatever...you try
to go to mithil, and find whatever area soth is in instead! ;P

Actually, I think it would be far more fun to have the cataclysm event instead
just put all the top eq mobs in one room in bc, and see if anyone can kill
them...
