The next big leap for the AI companions: tell a bot what to do in plain language — “follow me”, “attack that”, “wait here”, “sell your greys” — in any language, and it just does it. No commands to memorise; you talk, it acts. It's in active development now. Supporters get it first through the App updater the moment it ships.

An opt-in challenge framework for your characters: self-imposed playthroughs like Ironman and Solo, tracked per character through the Herald of the Fallen. A personal gauntlet you choose to layer on top of the world — not a realm-wide rule. Pick your Path, and see how far you get.

We pushed a realm to 10,000 full-AI 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.

It's out: the free WotLK 3.3.5a repack, the one-click App, and the player portal — everything you need to run your own living Azeroth with hundreds of AI bots. Download the free repack, or grab the App and be in-game in minutes.
