Someone on Reddit built a WoW private server with 1,800 bots and AI chat via the DeepSeek API.
Dead Internet Theory, but playable.
An MMORPG with no real players, yet somehow it still feels human.
@kimmonismus was this game built by AI or reddit person?
@kimmonismus A thousand agents wandering a sandbox is also a decent eval rig. You get to watch emergent behavior, memory drift, and how fast costs climb on a single API key. Stanford's Smallville did the small version of this two years back and the code is open: http://github.com/joonspk-research/generative_agents
@notjazii Reddit person with ai
@john_malone Haha probably implemented
@kimmonismus It needs a slightly racist teenage subagent and a gold farming spambot subagent for world chat authenticity.
@the_crazydev Yeah. 30+ can finally raid again
@kimmonismus someone is going to build a social network where you're the only real user and the rest are LLMs. oh wait
@Kierbnak Wow with 100% bots? It sure was
@kimmonismus @kimmonismus that's wild. i kinda want to try it just to see if i can spot any bot weirdness 😂
@kimmonismus .@Grummz
@kimmonismus This is a fascinating example of AI creating emergent social experiences. The technology is starting to blur the line between simulated communities and real ones.
@kimmonismus 1,800 bots is absolutely insane
@kimmonismus Someone’s never played RuneScape in 2004
@kimmonismus This is just azerothcore with the playerbots and ollama repo added.

@kimmonismus Feels human will get this more attention
@kimmonismus Definitely a lot of work needed even to get that chat feeling meaningful, but a really cool concept.
I wouldn't see it as replacing an MMORPG but more as line an RPG with more meaningful NPCs to interact with
@kimmonismus Interesting, it didn't got demolished into downvote hell by the Anti Ai cult which reddit is.
@kimmonismus That's genuinely terrifying and impressive at the same time. Imagine grinding for loot and your party member is just an AI pretending to be a real person.
@kimmonismus Really cool tbh. A lot of potential there for future implementations of mmo's.
