I think this because I have seen lots of zombies and spiders in one place at daytime.I have also heard reports of lots of creepers in one place and lots of ghasts in one place.
Emc servers are currently on easy mode and we plan to put the difficulty on normal mode in the near-future.
We are on easy mode, but at the same time mob spawn rates have been increased by some Aikar magic/curse XD
we are on normal mode ( http://empireminecraft.com/threads/coming-soon-emc-upgrading-to-normal-mode.20533/ ) but aikar has stripped the vanilla mob spawning and custom-coded our own mob spawning system to optimize the servers performance
They said they are going to upgrade to normal mode in the thread, they still havent gotten around to it though
Yup. We're in easy, just Aikar messed with spawn rates because last year or so we had issues with mobs. People were using grinders so much that there weren't any mobs spawning anywhere else and stuff. So he increased the cap and tweaked it and mobs are just stupid now. I don't know if he can fix it. People keep talking about creepers spawning in broad daylight which they believe is a Mojang thing, and because village spawning has a case of the dumb, it's messing up iron farms. We just have to either be better prepared or not go out at all. :/
I agree with gollark.One time I went to the nether and got shot off a cliff by a ghast in no time flat.And also if anyone finds stray ocelots please eggify them and give them too me(I will pay 5 K).But I also saw a ghast in protected zone?(Actually 2).
