That's actually amazing, can you choose the bots you're filling the raid/party slots with? I've got wicked nostalgia for wotlk and my partner was interested in wow when classic came out but they've had bad experiences with pug raids in other games (heck, even issues with guilds). Would you mind posting a link to some of the guides you used?
Yes! You get to invite the bots and choose their talent specs and everything. And you can fill raids with them too!
The following YouTube video is a step-by-step guide to setting up AzerothCore with player bots. It is a bit complicated but if you follow along, you too can get a WoW server stood up ;-)

Once you have the server, you can use the ChromieCraft client and edit "WTF/Config.wtf". And set the "realmList" to the local IP of the virtual machine.

Oh also, here's a link to the player bot commands list. It's a bunch of text commands. Nirv has a addon that lets him issue commands but for whatever reason it's incompatible with some of my preferred addons. So I just create chat macros and use an action bar to issue commands.

Note: I feel like I should warn... Nirv is kinda an a-hole. But he is very smart and knowledgeable about this stuff. So maybe just focus on the tutorial and getting it setup etc.
Thank you, I'll have a look after work!
