Question Need ideas on multiple players in the MUD school world.

My son and his friends have never played a MUD. They enjoyed playing Adventure (Colossal Cave) and Mainframe Zork that I got running on my server for them to play.  I thought I could create a small MUD using the released worlds. I used North Midgaard (30). and to the east I put MUD school (28) and then Newbie zone( 186). To the west of North Midgaard I put another world. The players start in the Mud School.

I played the MUD to make sure I had put the correct doors between the worlds. It worked fine.

I then tried to play as two players and hit an issue. The first player into MUD School will get the purse and the money. That player will also kill the piglet and get the "rewards" . The second and more players who could be with the first or a few seconds behind the first, will not see a purse and the piglet so is not really doing the MUD school. 
The lifespan of the world is set to 5. Even if I made it 1, it would not solve the issue. 
I think I have a solution for the purse, But I am out of ideas for the piglet. Anyone have ideas for this issue? I do what one "combat" experience in Mud school.

Options:
- zone reset set up so there's always a piglet there; requires the piglet to be a unique mob that only spawns in that room.
- an enter trigger, that loads the mob on entry (or slightly after).
- a death trigger that loads the mob again after it's dead.

If #1 doesn't work for you, I'd go for #3.

Thomas,

Thanks for the suggestions. I will likely try all three and then pick one.
