I also recall this oddball game mechanic. It took this post to remind me about it. I have vague recollections of this when in Blackburrow and of conversations about it. It's very hazy but it did exist. They would run around near you.. I don't recall if this was done with the intention of spreading out agro across all who get added to the hate list instead of having all mobs pounding one player. It seems to be more of a bug than anything. I do not recall when this behavior was removed from the game.
It's surprising what comes back into memory when reading and discussing old time EQ.

After reading this, I think the original poster is right. I remember having goblins line up in permafrost, 4-6 would hit you but you're right with the others standing in the back. Once a mob was dead another goblin would jump into the fray. Just my 2 cents, pretty new to the server but I do recall that.

I seem to remember this with greens / rooting mobs. When root would break, mobs would do a "slow trot" if you were already engaged, then come charging back if you attacked them or killed one of the mobs hitting you.

But this is just conjecture, as I have no proof. I wouldn't want to see this implemented on the server either. Just like Run Speed, too easy to exploit.

This mechanic did exist, for a few years.

Like some of the other posters have said, if you were fighting 4 at once that gave exp, you would normally move and never find out about it.

Very, very true. This existed.
