$lfg 5 now builds your group for you: type it in any chat and the server brings bots of your level from anywhere in the world, fills the roles you are missing, gears them and teleports them to you — or add a dungeon name and they wait at its entrance. Also new: cross-faction playerbots and account-bound professions (both opt-in), a steward for your Warband Camp and .camp rotate, a full PvP set in one command (.gear pvp), an optional Death Knight starting-zone skip, Jewelcrafting trainers in the capitals, and a live-map feed for the player portal. And a new page answers the question we hear most: which dungeons and raids work with bots.

Plus fixes that each began as someone’s report: bots that hit far too hard in battlegrounds, an auction house bot that bought nothing, AoE loot, .camp go landing on bare ground, Brewfest and more. Thank you StretchtGorilla, Micha, Jordan, Pianoman, Nuclear Pasta, Soezz, bengeldirk and Smurf.

Out now for supporters through the App. And with it, v1.6.0 “Talk to your bots” goes free for everyone — natural-language lfg, Dungeon Clear by talking, Warband Camp staff and Frostmind, with the complete server source.

Two new ways to play without typing a single $ command. Say “lfg” in a city and the bots that fit your group whisper back with their class, spec and level (off by default — one setting turns it on). Inside a dungeon, “start pulling”, “pause” or “skip this boss” in party chat drive Dungeon Clear. Your Warband Camp can now have staff — a banker, a merchant, a barkeep and guards — and Frostmind, the Archivist is hidden somewhere in Azeroth.

Plus a month of fixes that each began as an owner’s report: group loot rolls that never resolved, shaman bots above level 60 without totems, dungeon runs pausing silently at closed doors, and a worldserver crash on the first login after importing an older world database. Thank you StretchtGorilla, Micha (4played_karacho), bipolarxsmurf, stankfoot, andyomahm and Nlost.

Out now for supporters through the App. And with it, the whole v1.5 line goes free for everyone as v1.5.3 — Warband Camps, Transmog, AoE loot and more, with the complete server source.

Your Warband Camp is there when you log in. Logging out inside your own camp could mean logging back in to bare ground — the props were never lost, the client just never got told about them (a login-timing race, now fixed). Found by Micha, who checked the database before rebuilding his camp — exactly the evidence that made the root cause findable. Also in: AOELoot.MaxCorpses is a real setting now (it was silently hardcoded; default unchanged at 10).

Upgrading = replace worldserver.exe — no database changes. Live for supporters through the App now. Like every build, it becomes the free community release later — the free community release today is v1.4.2 with full source.

AoE loot no longer eats items. Merging corpses could quietly destroy loot when the window hit its 16-item cap or bags were full — found by StretchtGorilla, and fixed properly: nothing is emptied until it's actually been collected. Also in: the transmog Warpweaver shows up on upgraded realms too (reported by Cretnince, after Micha hit the same thing), and bots wait for the Ring of Valor lift instead of walking off it mid-rise (StretchtGorilla again).

Live for supporters through the App now. Like every build, it becomes the free community release later — the free community release today is v1.4.2 with full source.

Every entry in v1.5.0 started as a community suggestion or bug report. The headline is Warband Camps (suggested by AeonFlux): claim ground anywhere in the open world, furnish it from 69 props up to whole buildings, share it account-wide — and your alts stroll around it on their own. Alongside it: Transmog at the new Warpweaver NPCs, AoE loot (Nuclear Pasta), instant-swing and no-hearthstone-cooldown toggles (Boethiah), resto shaman bots that actually heal and held bots that keep their spec (StretchtGorilla), bots that leave your quest items alone (DMCraig), weekly arena points (galacticpatrik99), Culling of Stratholme fully scripted, DK bots unlocked in the Dungeon Finder, a bot-chatter toggle, two crash fixes and one closed exploit. Thanks also to the supporter beta crew — 4played_karacho's testing caught an upgrade-path crash before release day.

Supporters have v1.5.0 in the App now. And the free release moves up: the complete v1.4 line — Legend Roads, the Guide, the Sage, party-wide orders, Dungeon Clear — is now the free community release as v1.4.2, with the complete server source included. From v1.5.0 onward, every release ships its source.

Starting with the next release, every WOW Legends version ships with its complete server source code — the same tree the binaries are built from, attached to each GitHub release as WOW_Legends_Server_Source.zip. The free repack stays exactly what it is: compiled, configured and ready to run. The source zip is for the curious, the tinkerers, and anyone who wants to build it themselves the AzerothCore way — and it's how a project built on AzerothCore's and mod-playerbots' open licenses should behave.

Nothing else changes: the community release stays free and ready-to-run, supporters keep early access and the one-click App (the App and this website remain our own separate products). First source-included releases: v1.5.0 for supporters and v1.4.2 for the community, arriving alongside it.

Bots no longer stack into invisible towers at city banks — thanks to longasleep, who spotted them piling up in Darnassus and Exodar and then benchmarked the fix on two servers within 15 minutes of release. Arrivals now scatter naturally around their destination, each facing their own way. And the Guide escort survives every interruption we could throw at it — no more bots wedged standing still after a “stop”.

One small download in the App, nothing to import, no database changes. The free community release stayed on v1.3.1 until v1.5.0 shipped — v1.4.2 is now the free download, full source included.

The bots release is live for supporters in the App today. Your bots walk real roads across all four continents, a Guide escorts you anywhere on foot (“take me to Booty Bay” — it never teleports), a Sage answers item and quest questions from your server’s actual data, plain-language orders now work party-wide (“everyone follow me”), and a tank bot can clear a whole classic dungeon on command ($dc on). Add quest narration, bots that pitch in on your objectives, idle campfire life, a healer that saves you at the brink, 192 voice-card personalities and chat that takes turns instead of flooding — the party is alive.

And at the same time, the whole v1.3 line goes free for everyone as community release v1.3.1: Paths of Legends (the five challenge oaths, trophies and Herald honors), talk-and-command, and two backported fixes. Grab it on GitHub — supporters ride one release ahead; every version lands free when the next ships.

Thanks to jrad7 (Dungeon Clear), Boethiah, Ronny and AeonFlux for modules, reports and ideas.

See it, don't take our word: the Guide walks a player across the map in one uncut take · a tank bot clears Ragefire Chasm on command.

Swear your playthrough. Five opt-in challenge Paths now wait at the Herald of the Fallen in every starting zone — the Long Road, the Iron Oath, the Pilgrim’s Way, the Slow Burn and One Life. Each oath binds only you, they stack if you dare, and each one you fulfil drops a soulbound, readable trophy in your bags — and has the Herald bow and speak your name to the whole camp.

And your bots now obey plain language — in any language. Whisper a bot you own however you like: “follow me”, “folge mir”, “wait here a sec”, “attack that” — and it just does it, answering in character. Fourteen orders, class-aware refusals (ask a rogue to tank and it says no), and safe by design: only your own bots ever listen.

Out now for supporters through the in-App updater — and with it, v1.2.0 rolls out free for everyone.

We pushed a realm to 10,000 bots online at once — every zone populated, all levels, a real player among them. On a mid-range 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 3600X the worldserver sat at about 32% CPU and ~13.8 GB RAM. You'll never need this many (the repack ships at 100 and you scale to your own hardware) — it's a stress test to show how much headroom the engine really has.

The biggest update yet is about the bots as people. They now remember the players they meet, recognise familiar faces (and hold grudges — kill one in World PvP and it hunts you), and — if you opt in — narrate their own lives and act out little scenes around you. Plus a top-to-bottom bot-chat rewrite and owner tools like live AI telemetry. And there's a small tribute hidden somewhere in Stranglethorn Vale…

All-zones World PvP (opt-in), bots that hunt players across every zone, Faction Battlefront world events, auto-summon into dungeons and smarter bot PvP targeting. The world got a lot more alive — and, if you want it, a lot more dangerous.
