Hello,

Due to a recent (and crazy) idea, I'm actually wondering if a single player version of the game -with bots assisting you- would be doable or not.
The point is to give us the availability to play this game with bots and to give another dimension by makeing it very strategic.

There are the plans:

- You start the game, just like the normal game, but you are leader of a guild.

- The guild is composed by 23 bots (24 with you) that are played by the computer. You can start a group with the bots that you want and the bots would gain 4x more exp than you, so you can group with all your bots and you will maintain an adverage guild level.
How I see that: Let's say you enter in a zone. You know you have 23 bots that you created (name, race and class). In the zone that you've just entered, you need a group. You summon your 5 bots by their name, they automatically join your group.

- Each bot has an inventory just like a player but the bags. Each loot can be given to a bot that's auto-equip the given item. The stats of the bots change when the looted item is equipped.

- Each bot has an certain AI depending of its class. Tanks taunt, cleric heal, enchanters mez the adds etc...

- Group: While grouped with bots, you can see their HP/Mana/Experience bars. Yours grouped bots follow you and do a certain job when certain events occur (attack, attacked by, adds, death, buffs, mana/hp break, etc...)

- Raid: as you can have 4 groups, each group is leaded by a bot that you can lead by macros. /msg LeadBot1 "guard the place"/"attack target"/"follow"/"assist"/etc...

Ofcourse, for the moment it's just an idea but I like it. It might be a personnal project that will take much time but I don't really care.. I really would like to play alone, legit and tactically, take my time and rediscover the game as I did in 1999..

Now, my main problem is that I'm trying to figure where to begin...

sorry by advance for the english faults
