I would warn against those repacks, you can never be sure what is in them. I'll repost a guide on setting up and running a pserver in a VM that has a full guide for building Azeroth Core from source. The upside with this method is they also give you the steps to install AI bots and everything

I've tried Nirvs guide back before I had swapped to Linux Mint. I never could get it off of the ground. I kept hitting snags, particularly getting Debian to communicate with Windows 11 through PuTTY, each time I had tried and just gave up.

I recently came across a nigger black man that used Claude to vibe code an install and compiler script for AzerothCore on Steam Deck and it just works™️. I'm currently enjoying WotLK with playerbot, AHbot and progression modules from the comfort of my recliner. I think he may be working on one for Windows too.

Why am I doing this to myself?

Finally got time to get this running. Haven't played much yet but it seems legit (had a bot whisper me asking for a group invite after I whispered them).

Now I need to install this and see if I can teach it to be racist for the authentic 2005 Barrens Chat experience.
 
Wasting time on official WoW servers that won't go down day to next: Aight
Wasting time on private servers that'll get taken down within 1-4 years: Autistic, sure
Wasting time on your own private server with fucking bots? That's just going out of your way to ignore the many other games, genres or hobbies available to you in life.

Playing on a server with a handful of friends you played with 20 years ago? Not having to worry about about troons and other vermin nuking your access? Being able to run everything because there are enough 'players'?

Priceless.

I also just enjoy tinkering and doing things in overly complicated/autistic ways just to prove it's possible. I have plenty of other hobbies (picked up 3d printing again recently after nearly a decade since I got fed up with the endless calibration it used to require). Most modern MP games also are turbo GRIDs.

Tempted to open up a server for Kiwis since I've seen a fair amount of discourse in here lamenting the troon infestation on current offerings. Need to figure out how to do it without doxxing myself though.

Surely they haven't programmed the npcs to act like players to the point of running dungeons? I can't imagine privateers could get that going when Blizzard themselves could only muster dungeon-only npcs that spawn at the entrance. On that note, I've yet to try that runescape-lite singleplayer mmo game.. HM.

Yes bots run dungeons and raids nowadays. Obviously you have to give occasional commands to fine tune runs but overall they work. You can also just tweak things if you need to dumb encounters down a little for them.

The bots on the microbot private server are more fine tuned iirc than the public ones and will tank/heal/dps with the best of them due to tight scripting. You give start/stop commands and whatnot to control pulls and what gets CC'd. You can tell them not to AoE. You can exclude specific spells and abilities from their roster to have full control over exactly how the encounter plays out.

Blizz are incompetent hacks who forgot how to have fun.

I have this installed and they're supposed to be good enough to run dungeons and raids with. Currently have 500 of them going on my ancient hardware server and when I logged in the first time I saw them running around completing quests in the starter area and chatting in global channels. Saw one had already started a guild even.

I didn't do much playing last night (got to level 5); was spending most of the time tweaking settings and configuring ElvUI (because fuck Blizzard's default UI).
 
To be honest I kinda like the feeling of playing alone in a server, so I would probably only run bots to do dungeons and raids when needed...

When you are alone in a ghost town server it gives a very cool "liminal space/backrooms" vibe.

I set up Aldebaraan's repack something like 8 months ago just to see how it was. I ended up creating a couple additional accounts for three other friends and clearing Karazhan with them + playerbots to fill the extra spots. The minor things like the healer/caster bots rolling on appropriate gear then equipping it reminded me of the days of running Kara with pugs who barely talked.

Doing Netherspite with retards (bots) who would run across a beam they were not supposed to be in was a surprisingly accurate simulation of doing that fight in 2007. I had more fun that evening with WoW than any other time I touched retail in the last 9~ years, infrequent as that was.

The amount of customization possible for the server settings was impressive. One of the most notable settings was being able to turn the distance at which players appear way up which really gave the game a more populated feeling with 3500~ bots roaming the world. Editing the database settings so that *all items in the game* would appear on the auction house automatically was an interesting rabbit hole. I had no idea there were so many weird placeholder items. That Aldebaraan guy has certainly put together something very interesting. If the other guy/group that was working on that LLM plugin for playerbots has made sufficient progress it may even do a good job simulating the clusterfuck that was The Barrens general chat.

At any rate, it's something that I'll use to scratch the nostalgia itch for a little while every year or two with a couple friends. No gross feeling of giving money to modern Blizzard and no chance the server is randomly shut down without my knowing.

Does anyone know of a Legion single player server/regular server that lets me play with bots, I'm afraid I have a need to play demon hunter again.

You're making me nostalgic. My small guild spent so much time in Kara I could still probably navigate the place blindfolded. We were too small (and honestly too bad) for 25 man content.

I played around with both mod-ollama-chat and mod-playerbots-characters some this weekend (I honestly spent more time adding/tweaking mods than actually playing the game) just to see if I could get an approximation of racist Barrens chat. They're interesting (especially the second one) but even running the LLM on a decent enough home machine (48GB M4 Macbook Pro) it still was kinda lame and slow. I ended up turning both those off and just using the default chat options from mod-playerbots since it has toxicity enabling options.
