Subject: Is it safe to sing AE songs in dungeons now?


With overcrowding a problem on almost every server, I'm wondering if it is
now safe to add these songs back to our playlist. Months ago when
overcrowding wasn't as big a problem, singing AE songs in a dungeon zone was
suicide because you were likely to start a massive train due to the z-axis
bug. Nowadays, mobs in zones like LGuk are pulled usually within seconds
after they spawn.

Case in point. Last Friday I was camping the assasin room in LGuk for over
four hours. There was at least 70 people in the zone at all times. We
often had 5-10 minutes of downtime in between fights because we couldn't
find anything to pull. I strongly considered singing DDD (still need to max
my brass skill:-) but could not convince my group that it was safe to do so.
I even used the argument that in the rare event it did aggro a mob behind a
wall, since there were relatively few mobs on track we should be able to
avoid starting a train. It might have even been useful in helping us pull.
That argument didn't work either and we ended up having a lot of downtime.

Opinions?
