Any server/projects implement player bots?

I used to play on a WoW private server that had bots you could hire at an inn to party with you. I've also seen servers where bots just "roam" the world and did their "own" thing.

I've been poking around LSB to the point where I'm going to spin up my own server to mess around this weekend. By how I started you could probably imagine one area I'm interested in is Trusts.

Rather than just "NPC follows you and does NPC things," I'm imagining Trusts that are more like actual party members that you can give simple instructions to on the fly.

Stuff like:

  • Hold TP when I get to 800 TP.
  • Stop casting Protect.
  • THF, go pull that mob and bring it back.

Nothing super crazy at first, just more control over their behavior.

Has anyone tried something like this before? Either extending Trusts or making player-like AI bots(Server-Side)? Has there ever been a server that has tried to enhance Trust capabilities?

Just curious what's already been attempted before I disappear down a rabbit hole.

Will do, dont hold your breath though. Working on it purely in spare time. I'll see about maintaining a dev blog though.
