45 views Last updated Sep 16, 2026, 3:06 PM by GRANDPAGAMER

'''Random Bots''' are server-managed AI characters used by the Playerbots system on the Shadowmourne Realm.

They are also known as '''RndBots'''.

Random Bots are designed to populate the world and create a more active realm even when fewer human players are online.

What Random Bots Do

Depending on server configuration, Random Bots may:

  • log in automatically
  • travel through the world
  • grind enemies
  • complete quests
  • gain levels
  • upgrade equipment
  • join groups
  • enter battlegrounds
  • use dungeon finder
  • join guilds
  • interact with players

Random Bots vs Altbots

Random Bots are different from player-associated bots.

Random Bots are mainly controlled by server AI.

Altbots are persistent characters associated with player accounts.

AddClass bots are designed to quickly fill missing group roles.

See AddClass Bots.
