So an interesting note about the green dragon spawns. Sometime yestereday post maintenance Kalimdor crashed for about 30 seconds. Today, when the green dragons popped, only the ones in Duskwood and Hinterlands spawned. I'm not sure if it's really postworthy, but I found it kind of interesting that they don't have a trigger that pops them all at once. Rather upon reset it just sets all their respawns to the same time. Since they are two different world servers, and the rare spawn timers get reset when one crashes, what piece of hardware decides when they should spawn?
Basically if it's each world server setting spawn timers, would it be that there is an absolutely hard coded value for spawn time to the minute to ensure that the dragons spawn at the same time? Or does each realm just notice one of their world servers restart and just call the "ResetSpawnTimers()" function, and each mob object takes care of their own respawn timer value?
This got me thinking about the "random" world spawns, and that we know they pretty much pop on the same day after the reset, but I'm curious if they actually have a very fixed spawn timer so that you could actually have a raid assembled and buffed (pally buffs too, so basically within 15 minutes) to pull the second they spawned? I'm not saying you get your raid there at 12am the day they are supposed to pop and camp it, but actually schedule a green dragon kill.
I guess I'm more curious about the mechanics of rare spawn timers if anyone happens to have any unique insight.
