Since I reinced liberator I found that about 90% of the usual mobs killed in a
exp party are good aligned. The other 10% are mostly neutral.
Even if I solo a bit I have to use liberator detect for every single mob,
because mobs like "An aggressive guardian lich (undead)" and "a fat and angry
raven stomping around in craze" are of course, how could it be different good
aligned.
I get the feeling that a mob is only evil if it is a) a orc or drow b) some
direct henchman of an 200k+ eq mob c) undead
And even in these cases, as the example of the lich above shows chance is
still that they end up being good aligned.
Thanks to the liberator crystal missions I noticed that alignment is also
often an area flag and that out of 5 crystal missions 3 are in horsehead
mountain or perin's.
Anyone cares to explain what makes a mob evil?

If you find a mob that clearly should be of another alignment than it shows,
please report it as a bug. That lich is a good example. The raven might not
be.

The alignment system has not been with us from the beginning, and at least a
lot of the older areas do not have alignment on monsters, or have alignment
that might not be completely sane. You may also report those types of areas as
bugs to us. We will try to sort them out if it's wrong.
