Bottybots. They're more there to give the illusion of an MMO instead of be your new online best e-pal.

Plus, LLMs cost tokens, which cost money, which I'd have to pass on to the users and even though it's a simulated MMORPG I think a monthly subscription to cover LLMs would be taking the "simulated" experience too far.

Plus Plus LLMs say wild stuff sometimes, and Steam holds developers accountable for what their LLMs say.

I wrote a text parser and literally thousands of canned responses to certain contexts. Think of it like playing madden - you'll see some stuff repeated if you play enough, but overall it has minimal effect on your gameplay. This way I can guarantee a family safe game. Some testers have expressed excitement that this is an "MMO" that their children can play. I didn't expect that demographic but I'm happy I can cater to that.

Regarding giving them a high powered item if they ask for it - yeah, they remember that stuff. If you treat them good, they'll invite you to stuff when you log in next time.
