Why not have stop mobs from respawning in their original rooms? There could
be a spawning room in each area (say, a next or a hatchery) where all mobs
start. They then walk to their new, pre-defined posts. If the spawning room
has players in or next to it, there is no respawn. This, at least, might be
better than big (aggressive?) monsters appearing in the room that the
players are standing in without warning.
