Bug type: Map / Monster (not sure which)

Brief bug summary: GMS has a lower spawn rate of normal monsters in Lion King's Castle, excluding the Rose Garden area, compared to other versions (KMS, JMS, CMS, TMS, and MapleSEA).

More details:
Back in the Override update in KMS (and other versions), Lion King's Castle was updated with the quest drop requirements reduced from 200 to 100 for certain quests, as well as increasing the spawn rate throughout the area (namely Crockies, Reindeer, Blood Reindeer, Bearwolves, Grey Vultures, and Castle Golems). When this update hit GMS, the quest changes went through, but we never received the spawn rate increase.

Here are a couple images as reference.

Castle Ramparts 4 (KMS):

Steps to reproduce:
1. Head to any map with monsters in Lion King's Castle before the Rose Garden area.
2. Compare the spawn rates with any other MapleStory server aside from GMS. Note that GMS's spawn rate is incredibly lacking in comparison.

Character name: GreenGales

Character level: 254 (the area is 115+, however)

Character job: Wind Archer (applies to any class, however)

World name: Bera (applies to any world, however)

Date and time of the incident: May 26, 2020 at 5:00 PM EST (but this issue has existed since the Override update)
