Use Fake players as quest

[Marrdin]

Hi all.
I saw your fake players command and tried the giran elf and the gladiator. Also saw pvp movies on youtube with many fake players going berzerk. I think its a good idea to use them, not as a trick to make people believe the server is popular and crowded, but to make it more alive to start with.
The start of the server is the key today, all must come at once. It will die fast if few people come and a few clans is lvl 80 when new people discover it.

The questing has never been L2 strong side, like other mmo:s. It is the pvp an pk system that stand out.
But to not get boored sometimes its good to get away from grinding and do a little challengeing quest.
What if the different areas include fake players with appropiate levels maybe guarding something or making it harder to get quest rewards.
Or if the fake players themselves is the quest. Kill 10 of them and get XX. It would be a better challenge than 700 mobs in WOA.
This is a way to evolve L2 i think to make it more intresting.
Any thought about this?
Is it possible to make a custom quest based on pvp/pk points or similar?

I thought you did:)
both faction and seven signs could be balanced with fake players to. often seal of avarice is evryones choice on priv servers and nothing happens.
Seems ppl are against servers full of fake players, but it could definitly help make it more alive. The thing is to be open about it and not try to trick anyone i think.

but you could also make groups of mobs have party behavior, but more challenging since it has a specific AI edited, I explained the idea would be to create a group of mobs, where the leader of the group behaves in a certain way with the AI , and their minions react according to the situation, let them buff, heleen in groups, let a tank and mob polero try to override your healers, very dynamic, I would bet on an AI to mobs, where if you lower your HP to 30%, the aggressiveness is ramdom, where an archer minion concentrates on trying to stun your healer, when the tank minion is low on HP it uses UD and also uses aura of Hate and so on, generate challenging behavior.

I have used fake players in a quest before. It travalled the player back to the past in order to find a specific fellow adventurer. The player had to search for a specific Orc.
