Description

Zombies are motionless and dont move or animate when no one is within 4-500m which means it can be abused to inform you when a town is safe or has players close by.

I made a video to explain this https://youtu.be/kTQ6KoWZb6o

Hello Beav and thank you for the report.
This has been implemented to generally improve server performance and for that reason we are not planning to change this anytime soon, however we understand that this indeed can be abused and we will look into possible tweaks which could prevent the abuse.
Regards,
Geez
