1) Exp wasn't properly coded, so I levelled incredibly fast. Would it make more sense to code the bots to absorb a proper amount of exp, rather than rely on the server?

Exp isn't split for bots. You would get the same exp solo or with bots, but The Realm does have 1.5X exp anyway.

Dang, I can't please everyone. I previously beefed up the bots from complaints they were too weak, but I gotta think that blue cons with a group of bots or a group of real people is gonna be fairly easy anyway.

Bots don't generate aggro by themselves since they don't have faction, but Mistmoore is a train station on it's own, not sure about the Hole.

I don't have these problems. I've seen in logs that some people keep sending unknown opcodes continuously in a stream and this causes connection issues for them. My friend and I play frequently and our connections do not send this opcode stream I'm seeing with some people.

I find it quite fun as well, keep the bug reports coming in.
