Sure. A level 1 character killing hill giants.

Depends on what's in there. If there are just lowlevel monsters and
useless items they would not be attractive --- just like most Scorn
maps everybody would do them just once or twice, if at all (I find
myself doing almost no Scorn maps anymore when building characters
(esp. on the 0.95.3 server --- it's simply too time-consuming to move
between the two Scorns, and I really have better things to buy than
stupid harbor passes), and usually even fewer Santo Dominio or Navar
City maps). The same is true for most players; I actually know just
one player who is still hanging around in newbie maps (and he's been
there for weeks...).
