The bot command operator can be change by anyone running a server:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...command.h#L530
Changing that character and recompiling will allow the use of any character that the server admin chooses to select for bot commands.
I didn't want to use something too close to the existing command operator, so I chose the caret. (Most people set up hotkeys, don't they?)
I've considered a revamp of the old command system as well as splitting the it into player- and server-oriented commands.
Also, the newer clients (post-RoF2) actually block the use of the pound (hash) symbol when used as a message opener. This means that another character
will have to be selected to use the command system in these clients.
The beauty of having open source code is that if you don't like something, you can always change something to your liking
