Between the IPC and QUEST system you have complete bots. Currently there is a problem (thanks for reminding me) with assigning quests to ipc's.
Current IPC commands are
Group:
help me attack,
heal me,
pvp,
follow me,
wait here,
evac,
buff me,
buff target
Say:
hail,
group me
Things that don't work, or don't work completely
They will not zone yet.
You have to repeat buff requests to get all of thier buffs.
Group bugs, i don't remeber how many
Inspect.
My theory for two new ServerType, one with pvp, and one without.
You create your group in your character selection, then log into the character you want to play. The server will store an extra copy of your current zone and spawn you into load2. Here all the other characters from your character selection screen are spawned as IPC. There will also be a npc that responds to "I am ready" to return you and any IPC you group to the zone and location you camped in. Add in the pre stocked bazaar and you have a single player eq that shouldn't require to much tuneing changes.
