they remain dead if nobody enters the zone for like 5 days, then goes back and the mob is still there, including dropped loot as well
You mean the corpse wont rot unless the zone is live? I hadn't even considered that. That's not necessarily a bad thing tho as the spawn timer shouldn't be dependent on the corpse. And let's say for example your group happens to be in an encounter, takes down the named, but wipes on the adds. With the corpse still available there is time to run back for the loot.

I do plan on running statics before I go live with the server. I would like to run as many as possible. The server is a 2xP4 @ 3.40 GHz with 2x256 MB of DDR, Running Win2Kpro SP4.

I'll do some testing and report back with resource consumption.
