Why Ogre
There are many questions I get all the time. Here are the most common ones in hopes to answer your questions.
Q: What is OgreBot? A: OgreBot is a UI driven fully customizable adventure bot.
Q: OgreBot vs EQ2Bot! A: This is a very tricky question. In the end, both do the same thing - they fight and support you with adventuring.
Q: Is OgreBot better than EQ2Bot then? A: Yes and no. For some people, yes it is better. For some people no. Both have their strenghts and weaknesses. I'll list what I believe are a few of the strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind, I'm bias towards OgreBot as I have spent over 3 years coding it.
"Plug and Play".
- EQ2bot wins hands down. You could download EQ2bot and the default class profile and be playing within minutes. Doesn't require you to really know anything about the class.
- Ogrebot - You need to setup your character via the UI (User Interface). While this can be done without any knowledge of a class, you will see the best results by knowing at least the basics about the class. For screen shots of how to setup a character, check out the tabs.
Customization
- Ogrebot has the advantage. Ogrebot was designed to be fully customizable from a UI. This means you have control over nearly every single aspect of the bot, without looking at a piece of code.
- EQ2bot - You certainly have some customizability with the UI, but in comparison, Ogrebot has the advantage.
Documentation/Support
- Ogrebot comes with a wiki that is updated daily/weekly as changes are made to Ogrebot. It also has screen shots of nearly every single available, and examples of how to use the options. IRC channel #Ogre where users of OgreBot hang out to provide advice and experience.
- EQ2bot - Being I've never used EQ2bot, I can't comment on what does and does not exist. We'll chalk this up to me being bias :)
