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.

Yea, that is a good idea. This is sorta how I populated zones on my own server when PEQ first started up a looong time ago when there were not paths built in. I generally knew what mobs belonged where, went in game and took coordinates of their roaming areas then built a script to make paths for them with some random directions. The final result was pretty convincing, after some tweaks you really couldn't tell it was built on random numbers.
