A Couple of Random Things

[Raelynn]

So if I fight two monsters, I am fight two mobs?? I suppose I fight the two mobs with my fireball mob? Actually, I am a mob myself it seems. By the way, since when is a monster an "object"?

As Alrin had said, this dates back to MUDs, where there were players and there were objects. Monsters were a special type of object that moved around in the world, compared to every other object which was stationary. Because of this, they were called mobs, from mobile object. PC are a class of their own because they weren't objects that were in the world in the same sense. They were controlled by real people and not the program. Same thing for spells, it was an object so much as an effect so there was no need to call it an object.
