Never knew this; I assumed it just meant Mob as in "an unruly mob." Oh and kudos to the post above me for getting something everyone else missed. I also found QQ pretty amusing to learn.

the computer graphics programming term MOB (Movable Object Block)

The term mob as it is used in MUDs is short for mobile, which was used by Richard Bartle for objects that were self-mobile in MUD1. Source code in DikuMUD uses the term "mob" to refer to a generic NPC. DikuMUD was influential in the creation of EverQuest, and the term as it exists in MMORPGs is derived from the MUD usage. In this usage, the term is properly an abbreviation rather than an acronym. Backronyms for "MOB" such as "monster or beast", "mere ordinary beast" and "mean old bastard" have also been coined.

Full article here.

Personally I like the acronym "Monster or Beast"
