this sounds like an excellent idea both what unklenuke suggested as well as Darkrulerz (and not just bc i work with darkie) Blue you have always been very quick to help and have implemented plenty of great abilites over the course of your work... if ever you need me I am a quick github message away (you know how to reach me *wink*)
but i WOULD love to see the EARNED bots in play that would make them much more entertaining than free Ninja-mules... I once entertained trying unklenuke's quest idea in the past but just couldnt pull it off on my own... also thought of perhaps some form of token system but on a much more complicated level (i.e. seperate tokens for each level clase (like 1-10,2-20,etc) and the tokens having a limited lifespan (i.e. you logout the token dissappears and you gotta buy another one when you relog per bot...) but my intentions there ARE for limiting usage of bots and making the players earn them (and spend money...) *lol*
Selector has a neat vote=reward system cooked up, it'd be kinda cool if bot tokens could be awarded for every so many votes or something along those lines (thus increasing the popularity of one's server overall ...
just some ideas... hit me up anytime bud.. u know where to find me.. if not, ask DarkRulerz
