Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fixed so mobs that depop at end of pathgrid still path
 and depop whiel zones are empty.  This makes these mobs no longer always
 appear at start locations for the 1st person in a zone after long idle.

 EQEMu Changelog (Started on Sept 24, 2003 15:50)
 -------------------------------------------------------
+== 08/23/2016 ==
+noudess: Force mobs on a depop @ end pathgrid to still do this on idle zones.
+This makes them be more random after a zone is idle, rather than always showing
+up at start point when 1st person logs into an idle zone.  Much more like live.
+I dion't think this will be much of a performance problem.  Once they path and
+depop, no mkore cpu usage.

 mackal: Implement Linked Spell Reuse Timers
 	- For whatever reason this is a bit unfriendly, but that's how it is on live.
