My opinion;
I used to like statics mainly because they had some concept of time, didn't like the idea of loading into a dynamic zone always at 8:00 am. This has been solved with the recent night and day scripts.

The main reason for statics is for heavy traffic servers (servers with many players), but if you just have a server for yourself or you and a few players, dynamic takes up less memory and CPU use.

Other than that the only other reason I can think of for a static is, the zone remains the same even when you die/leave and come back. Maybe you were camping a named NPC and finally got him to pop, but got yourself killed; when you came back, he'd still be there. Since most (if not all) servers have rare spawns/drops much more common than on live, this is not needed either.

Works just fine with only editing those, question is, is that maybe not recommended? Just trying to see if I have unfinished editing to do.
