poker party

A poker party mob is a non-player character or monster in a computer role-playing game poker party . It is widely accepted as being short for mobile object or simply mobile, stemming from its use in the earliest text-based MUDs, and is commonly written either mob or MOB There appears to be some debate on the exact origins or the term, and backronyms such as "monster or beast" and "mere

ordinary poker party beast" have been developed.Killing mobs can give such rewards as experience points and items. Usually the combat is player initiated, however, if the mob is "aggravated" or has aggro, it is configured so that it will challenge a player who enters within a certain range. This area is known as the aggro range. Combat between players and mobs is called player versus

monster or in poker party a broader sense, player versus environment ; as opposed to player versus player battles where the emphasis is on defeating an opposing player rather fighting against the game system.Usage poker party in MUDsAs the term originated from MUDs, its use in those games has not changed much. Mobile is often preferred to mob.The original term Mobile was originally coined by Richard Bartle in a paper describing

an early MUD poker party which was being constructed as a research project at the University of Essex. Although it originally referred to an object that could move , one reviewer of the paper misunderstood the term to be a reference to the classic childrens toy or Mobile that poker party goes by the same name - and referred to it as "an incredibly beautiful analogy to those hanging toys, which appear to move around randomly as if alive, while in fact being composed of mechanical parts and operating poker party in accordance with fixed scientific laws". Usage in MMORPGsMobs in MMORPGs usually refer to the generic monstrous NPCs that the player is expected to hunt and kill rather than NPCs that engage in dialog or sell items. Named mobs, also known as "elites", are special rarer monsters that are poker party tougher and have better loot, usually distinguished by having a Noun#Proper_noun name rather than the generic "a goblin".Computer and video game terminology poker party EverQuest
