There are a relatively small number of mob spawns in Darkfall. With an attempt to reflect a more realistic style, a number of the mob spawns land mass compared to contemporary MMORPGs. Mobs in Darkfall are of higher artificial intelligence than that in other games. When circumstances arise, mobs will call for help, strategically retreat, dodge, and switch between melee and ranged attacks. Consequently, to fight against mobs in Darkfall is more difficult than in other MMOGs, to the extent that widescale mob rebalancing was a specific focus for the recent Darkfall expansion.
