Technically, what I'm actually doing is to make a public class called Bots that inherits the NPC class. This way I can code the virtual methods that are customized for the bots without modifying the official Entity>Mobs>NPC codes.
Everything related to bots (Stats, Equipment, Attacks, AIs, Orders) are coded in this new class.
The Raid class will stay the same but will have some improvments.

What will be left will be the group thing and that will be an issue. I'm actually wondering how I can make the group working for both players and bots with a minimum of official code modifications.

Agreed. But if coded as a "module"... well, I need not carry on about this. I think we're both on the same page already.

I'm thinking the same approach as GuildWars...

Incredible work, by the way.
