1. Started camping Gulool Ja Ja as part of a four person party on 11:30pm EST on Wed 9/12/12 inside the Throne Room (past the door) but still sitting near the door. Left characters afk in room with no sign of NM. (Was able to check on Besieged without spotting him there during CS, as well).
2. On 9/21/12 moved closer to actual throne, thinking that even without any chat filters on, we might not see it if we were afk and someone fought him. No sign of NM, though it is possible someone had attacked him while we were further from the throne and we didn't have log of the fight.
3. After doing research on the forums and other sites, determined that popular belief is that the NM Spawn window opens immediately after maintenance, and that Gulool Ja Ja has either a 3-5 day or 5-7 day respawn timer, which would leave his window at 48 hours either way.
4. Maintenance was completed on Monday 9/24/12 at 3:00pm EST, but there was also emergency maintenance on Tuesday 9/25/12 which ended at 2:30pm EST. No sign of NM leading up to maintenance or between two maintenance windows.
5. By the time second maintenance finished, party had grown to between 7 and 11 people either watching or afk at the throne. There was someone physically present at almost all times and someone checking all Besiege occurences since maintenance. After 57 (11:30pm EST 9/27/12) hours still no sign of pop.
6. Possible that the research I did lead to some incorrect assumptions about the pop conditions, but wanted to report the issue in case there is a potential glitch. Saw some other folks reporting about glitches and so I figured I should share our experiences as well.
