Four new autonomous players: Crashtroller's future dungeon group
Dungeons and raids require a group. Four Horde characters, created through a real client's path, are now played by the server: Tarokh (tauren warrior, future tank), Velyssa (undead priestess, healing), Grazhak (orc warlock) and Morvane (undead mage). Each levels alone in their starting zone.

Why
A lone player cannot run a dungeon. As in real WotLK, players level on their own and then meet through the core's Dungeon Finder, which forms groups by role and teleports into the instance. Other autonomous players were therefore needed.
The companions
| Name | Race / class | Intended role | Start | |---|---|---|---| | Tarokh | tauren warrior | tank | Mulgore | | Velyssa | undead priestess | healer | Tirisfal Glades | | Grazhak | orc warlock | damage | Durotar | | Morvane | undead mage | damage | Tirisfal Glades | | Crashtroller | troll hunter | damage | (level 4, Durotar) |
Created on a dedicated account by the 3.3.5a mini-client (creation validated by the core: name, race, class, starting outfit), each with their own appearance (new mini-client option).
New class behaviours
- Warlock: summons a demon out of combat (Voidwalker if known, Imp otherwise).
- Mage: conjures water and food instead of buying them.
Readability
Logs now show spell names and quest titles in the realm's language.
Next step
Groups and Dungeon Finder: invitations, roles, group proposal, then in-instance behaviour (tank, healer, damage).
