I have a feeling that mobs on live each had a path; whereas this is generally only true with named/important/well-known mobs on most emulated servers.
This would be extraordinarly tedious work with very little to show for the effort, if pathing information were even available for a_random_mob_001 to a_random_mob_1000000 from 11 years ago.
I imagine that most of the yard trash and non-nameds here are utilizing roamboxes or something similar where they randomly wander an area deliniated by entered pos and neg x and y coordinates. Randomroam is also a possiblity; this allows a mob to select a random location at a distance from the spawnpoint, checks LOS, and moves there if it's good.
Both are pretty slick.
