Raid requirements

[Chikinbone]

Hey all,
I'm new to all this EQ emulation. I've setup my own server, offline so I can play at my leisure.. obviously I set it up to be soloable. I've searched this forum high and low for days, before posting this, to see if I could find a way to do this, but I can't. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. I want to know if there is a way to get into raid instances, without being in an actual raid. I was trying to do the final battle for GoD progression mission #1 and it stated I needed to be in a raid. I have created 18 bots of different classes to be my "raid force". Can't invite them to a raid. Is there anyway form of a bypass for this sort of thing? Thanks in advance and take care.
