It's a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I'm all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only "FMMORPG". I'd love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.

I feel like it could be a really clever way of making a horror game
I'd love to play WoW with this.
You can do basic 5 man content with AI players nowadays.
There's Solocraft private server for vanilla - lets you run a team of bots so you can do dungeons, on your own.
Yeah, they ripped that concept straight out of Final Fantasy XIV’s playbook… FFXIV implemented a system where you can solo dungeons by taking a group of NPCs with you. The NPCs level up from raids, so players who prefer soloing will be able to grind an entire party.
…And FFXIV had ripped it straight out of even older games like EverQuest (where it is common practice to multi-box and have control of an entire party at once.)
That seems to be the lifecycle of feature implementations for MMOs. It’s sort of a given that MMO players tend to be familiar with other MMOs, so word naturally spreads when one MMO creates a cool new system. And other MMO devs are able to basically see that other game implementing it as a feature test, to gauge how popular it may be in their own game. So when one MMO adds a cool new system, the other MMOs typically do the same relatively quickly. They’re all just copying each others’ homework.

TBF, Blizzard is at their best when they're stealing shit from others.
I saw this the other day and added it to my wishlist...curious to see what it's like when it breaks early access.
Literally the only reason to play an MMO is because other people play it; without that it's just an RPG with a shitty interface.
Me when I can't see what's in front of me
Eh, ESO is a great RPG IMHO, terrible mmo though

I don't go for early access games but hot damn am I tempted. But if I lose a roll for a good bit of loot to a bot I'm gonna be pissed.
Just part of the mmo experience lol. Other player is a warrior and selected "need" on a wizard staff
I wonder how it compares to Kenshi ... Probably less brutal. Otherwise it seems like similar game mechanics

Yeah I'll be buying this. This is the game I've had in my head for the last 5 years
I have not played either of these, but the premise of a dead post-MMO world, PAGAN: Autogeny, seems personally more interesting to me.
That looks like it's probably a great game for someone like 5 years older than me tbh. I think I just missed the nostalgia train necessary for that kind of game
It certainly sounds interesting
