 That can happen right now to a lesser effect (you could wander into a dungeon
and find that all the monsters have been released, and are sitting right around
the entrance.

 Some areas, however, are considered reasonably safe.  And the other problem is
that some players may not care too much if they mess things up for other
players (the 10'th level character probably would not care if there is a wyvern
in scorn, but the lower level people, who will get killed, probably do..)
