More questions on Bots

Oh crap, my server went from EZ to Super EZ.Any way I can limit the bot useage? Such as per level, and number of bots that can be summoned? On the bright side, people wont feel the need to 6box. Some rule_values would be nice to put in limits. Well, so far I tested out for one hour, and Im very impressed at the AI, and the bots saving items, buffing, etc. Looks cool. Better than Guild Wars.

You have to look around, if you're still using the old code and I tell you to use the new code, you'll break everything - the new code is here; but you have to update your SQL database.with the sqls provided in the utils/sql/svn/ directory.
As for the easiness with the bots, you can do a few things, one thing is to slow the level of exp rate. I slowed a lot on reds/yellows(red and yellow cons get real easy when Botting and probably multi-boxing too)_ and posted how I did it here
You can also throw this in, and set it to a high number, so the players loose a lot when they die.

There's definitely a lot of people not familiar with the new SVN link and how to use it. I don't have the time I wish I had to keep on top of everything, and I tend to rely on the download section for updates... Since that's no longer a valid section, we should probably shut it down. The announcement on the front page should be a big help, but I think we're still going to have some people lagging behind.

I was surprised just how different things are with the new code... once I updated to the new BOT code my database was all but useless. I was able to dig my account and character info out, but I've chosen to start over on custom content.

Another thing you can do and what I've done is raise the HP on all mobs from 2 to 10 times depending on the zone. Also decrease the assist range. This makes it harder to single a larger number of mobs.
