Idea for Bots on other Accounts

[Raz0r1337]

The only method to summon and control bots from another account is to use guilds right?

extremely complicated to set up.
Many many steps and you have to be online with two accounts to invite them in the guild.

A method to link a bunch of accounts together will be nice. So you make one account as the master. This account is for your player characters. And then you create an account named like yours with _bots at the end only for your bots.
Now the request link feature comes in. You link the accounts together and now you are able to use all Chars on the bot account as your Playerbots. Or the name is the link. All accounts that are named like the master account with _bot1-4 will be automatic linked together. Or the server will create four bot accounts itself when you create a player account.

Four because a full group need fife players. You are that player plus four bots per character. An account can safe ten characters.
10 playerchars * 4 bots = 40 bots you need to max one account out.

The accounts also could share the master accounts passwords and are blocked to change this. Only the master account can do that and the password will automatically be set to the bot accounts.

With this it should be very easy to make and manage bots in a separate bot account. Especially for new gamers.

I find it very unpleasant to have players and bots on the same account. You have less space for characters and even less for the bots. Sure you can make more accounts but this is unpleasant to.

If any of you find this idea good and can code, I will love you if you implement such a feature. ❤️

可以通过加好友的方式来和其他账户的角色一起联机，首先需要记住其他账号下角色的名字，然后把他们添加为好友，就可以用召唤好友上线的功能来组队了。但是玩家账号与随机机器人不同的是，不能够通过重置的方式改变天赋，可以通过查看队友技能的方式来切换天赋，也不能通过重置的方式来切换机器人装备。
总体来说，如果喜欢自己和自己的其他角色组队，那么你就要登录每个角色的账号，弄好天赋，游戏中还要分配装备给到不同的角色，这种玩法有点像养成类游戏。如果只是需要机器人配合升级或者打团队副本，那么就用随机机器人就好，天赋和装备都不用管

Sorry that's not possible.
If I try this it says in the chat that the char is not in my guild or account. Or missed i something?

But if this will be possible to use other Chars as bots without having in your guild will be nice.

About first question i belive that not. Also friend list working (and its supported in multibot addon).

Create guild and add members using GM commands i very fast. Example:
.guild create Kadeshar "For the Horde"

.guild invite Rocket "For the Horde"
.guild invite Ranulph "For the Horde"
.guild invite Alroq "For the Horde"
.guild invite Diegotxt "For the Horde"

Without GM creating guild too should not be hard. Only reduce char required signatures. And invite bots to group. That all.

I have ~30 playerbots on 4 accounts (my account using only for my characters) and dont have any problems.

You're right for GMS, it's super easy. Normal players have to create the guild, then be online with the guild master and log into the account at the same time and bring the bot online, then invite and accept with the bot. Then log out and repeat with the next one. I'm sorry but I find it quite tedious. I've also since found out that there is no way to check the friends list in either the core or the Playerbot module. That's purely a client thing. That's exactly why I edited and refined the above post. Of course a test server has no problems with that. I host one for myself, my wife and a few friends and the variant I described would be much more pleasant. I'm trying to implement something like that but unfortunately I'm not a programmer and I have to get a lot of help and am making very slow progress.
