Playerbots
Browse all bots →This server runs mod-playerbots — real Wrath characters driven by class logic you can command. They are not the mindless NPC escorts some private servers drop in the world.
A playerbot logs in as a character: race, class, talents, bags, and a mailbox. In combat it plays that class — a paladin can tank, a priest can heal, a mage can DPS — using the same spells a person would. You assign the role. You tell them to follow, stay, attack, loot, talk to a questgiver, or visit a vendor.
They remember roles, gear, and strategies between sessions. You are still the party leader. They do not replace you; they fill the seats around you so 5-mans, 10-mans, and 25-mans are playable without a full human roster.
Characters on your account can come online as companions. Log each alt in once so it initializes, then log back to your main and invite them.
These are the bots you fully control: tank, heal, DPS, follow, loot, quests, and instance groups.
Hundreds of bots are already in Azeroth — cities, leveling, and filling the world so it does not feel empty. They play classes; they are not scenery.
That population is separate from your party. You do not have to babysit every name in Stormwind. If you queue a battleground, world bots can fill the empty faction slots. They do not start battlegrounds by themselves.
Set co +tank, co +heal, or co +dps. They follow, stay, attack, flee, and use class abilities — including more specific strategies when you need them.
Build a party or raid, summon them to you, and walk in. Difficulty scales with group size (AutoBalance). 5-mans, 10-mans, and 25-mans are the point of the system, not an afterthought.
Share quests, loot, repair, buy consumables, learn spells, and sell junk — you send the order; they execute it when they are in range of the NPC.
Commands work in party chat and whispers. SquidBots Lite ships with the launcher as the in-game control panel so you are not typing every order — a thin bar of orders, role badges on the party frames, and a Specializations window for picking each companion's spec.
- Get the launcher from the Download page (sign up first if you have not).
- At character select, click AddOns and confirm SquidBots Lite is listed and enabled.
- In-game, use the SquidBots Lite bar to manage companions. Party chat still works for the same orders (follow, attack, role commands, and the rest).
Questie, dungeon maps, and other 3.3.5a addons are optional. Extra addons from outside the launcher are use-at-your-own-risk.
The SquidBots Lite addon's Specializations window (right-click a companion's role icon, or open it from the bar) can show a companion as "not a bot" the first time you try to pick its role or spec — even though it is online and working. This is a one-time setup step, not a sign anything is wrong.
- Open Bots on the SquidBots Lite bar, then My alts.
- Find that companion's row and click Log out.
- Click Refresh, then click Log in to bring them back.
Reopen the Specializations window — that companion now shows its real spec and role options. This is remembered on your account going forward, so you only do it once per companion, not every session.
