Lunar Dominion

More than two thousand characters on Lunar Dominion are run by the server itself. Their names start with bot_; they level from 1, take class changes, form parties with tanks, healers and bards, go after raid bosses, enchant their gear to the safe level and trade at the Giran market. They never attack first but will hit back — and they remember who attacked them and who healed them. Separately there are aibot_ characters driven by a neural network.

Any mob can be tamed: it fights with its own skills and, when summoned, buffs its owner or the whole party with a random buff based on its grade. A pet needs feeding and takes 10% of your XP, and its collar can be sold at auction. Solo players get mercenaries of their own level — a paladin, a healer (Elven or Shillien Elder) and a dwarf spoiler; all XP and loot stay with you, and they take orders in party chat.

Rates are honest x1, with x1.2 EXP and SP in a party. Premium gives x1.5 (quests stay at x1), auto-loot and a second window — without it, one window per IP. There are 1.5 times more mobs everywhere, red champions drop Coins of Luck, and TvT and Last Man pay out Festival Adena. For those who want more, there is a Hardcore mode: x2 rates, but you can't die.
