Getting rid of the 0 in npc names

[Zafar]

I was in South Karana with my mage for the heck of it, putting the beat down on the gnolls and I've seen the gnolls go after my pet and seeing:

A Tesch Mas Gnoll00 says, 'I'll teach you to mess with, yada yada, Gerber00.'

I don't know why ever EQEmu uses or has 3 digits. What is the purpose other than having a bunch of mobs running around in a zone? I never in my life with EQEmuing, seen a server with more than maybe 70-95 of the same mob. Then again, I may have over lookd something somewhere.

EQEmu is going non-standard, using 3 digits. It was stated in a previous thread that EQLive uses 3 now. However, it does not. It only uses 2 digits, even in Planes of Power.
