Normally I wouldn't put a Diddlycraft update on the front page, but this is a big one.  Three great new features have been added:

1) Auction Bot - Now there's a automated buyer and seller in the auction house, making bids on items and adding other random things for bidding.  This gives you a chance to buy crafted goods that would normally come from other players in the world that you need but can't make for yourself.

2) Player Bot - If you have multiple characters of the same faction (Horde/Alliance), you can summon them by entering ".bot add charactername" in the chat window (supplying the name of the desired character).  That character from your account will now log in and appear where ever they were when they logged off.  Invite them to join your group so you can find them.  Once you're in visible range, enter "/whisper charactername follow" and they will stick with you for adventuring!  "/whisper charactername stay" to get them to stay put.  ".bot remove charactername" to log them off.

You can have multiple bots join you for difficult quests.  They are really quite helpful and will automatically buff your character, mount/dismount, accept and complete quests, and even fight in a requested manner if you don't like their default behaviour!

3) Random Bots - Random bot controlled players are running around the world, doing quests, killing baddies, picking flowers, whatever.  Don't be surprised to see people you don't recognize!  If you encounter one of these players, and they're friendly, feel free to invite them to your group.

Since the Diddlycraft server hardware is pretty lightweight, I only have a few random players running around at any given time.  I wouldn't want to introduce any lag.
