Offline wow rejuvenated my desire to play

Software Modding

A few days ago I plunged and installed dad'swowlab with playerbots on steam deck. 500 bots, offline, classic wow. Perfect.

A few days later I wanted to get my son involved and decided to host a server using wotlk. Build the server with playerbots, ai chat, progression modules the works.

Let me tell you, being able to have 4 alts and party with them to level them all is good, opening my network to play at work and with my kids. Great. Having ai chatter, controlling your parties roles, scaling dungeons to 2-4man and still be relative, no latency, and having the sweet gm power. Chefs kiss.

Getting it public and modded was surprisingly easy, and if ever thought about it just give it a shot... few hours and your good to go.
