I was thinking, how does everybody handle Enemy AI?


I was thinking they would just have the enemies head for the person closest to them. But then people would lead a whole pack of them to another person. And if you just passed by one, they would attack you.

Any thoughts?

Generally, it's better to make them pick a target and then stick with it. For example, say you move near to a monster. It sees you and comes charging towards you. You run back towards town, shouting, "Now you're all going to get it!" The other players look at you like a moron. The monster runs up, catches you, disembowels you, eats your innards, and then goes home, fully gorged.
