Or there command that could get created where it randomizes everything for bot creations

There are 3rd party SQL scripts that add thousands of new bots, look them up. By default there is only .npcbot createnew command where you have to provide all the values

I have a new copy of 11k bots from the author that has the AC changes needed to work, if you wish to download. Its 5 sql files.

Use at your own risk, and backup your database before using incase it overwrites what you may in those ID's 80001-91982

Here's my python script to automate npcbot's

Just open wow on GM account and the script will do the rest

Did you bump up server to handle all the bots though?
When I spawned many the only way I found was to increase db/world thread count in configs. When everything was at 1 thread (default) the world would just lag real hard and the DB would get a ton of "queued" queries and take forever to terminate.

I don't think I've ever seen any comment about it anywhere.
I just ended up setting

WorldDatabase.WorkerThreads     = 4
CharacterDatabase.WorkerThreads = 4
WorldDatabase.SynchThreads     = 4
CharacterDatabase.SynchThreads = 4

in worldserver.conf and with 3.5k wanderers that works fine but if you know what specifically allows scaling it would be good to know for those that can't or don't want to throw extra resources randomly.

Seems your script is not working at all.can you fix it or any tutorial how correctly use it?

I'd say that 314 bots isn't enough. Wow has 100 zones, that's 3 bots per zone. Assuming 1 is dead at all times you might bump into one or two at best.

Less if an Alterac Valley is running and has sucked 70 of the 300 bots out of the world.

Somewhere around 750 should come with the module I think. Anything more than that and you should be on your own.

I use 2500 bots on a Pi5, seems to be more than enough to run into them in almost any zone with no lag, crashing or issues.
