I most certainly agree.
Many of the oldest zones have a much too low maxload, and I increase those whenever I come acroos them, because objects not loading as they should is really annoying.
Nowadays I usually set a max of at least 500 on everything.
I'd like to add something about zedit, however.
If you reset something directly in a room, (i.e not on a mob or in a container), you need to remove the same vnum directly before. Otherwise more and more objects will collect in the room, until the max number is reached. The same goes for a too high max number on a mob reset, although there is no way to limit mobs in a room in a room by removing them first.
Sometimes in the past this has lead to the Port crashing, because the code cannot handle the spam that occurs when someone enters the room and looks at the mob pile up.
