Server Rack for Botting

[nik777]

Good day, everyone. As you can tell, I am new here. I recently got my hands on a set of used Dell servers from my place of work. After fooling around with them for some time, I desire to do something more productive with them.

Botting has always fascinated me, though I have never done it on a large scale-- to be honest, I only ever wrote a few of my own scripts that I would use from time to time. I have stumbled upon this site and the discussion here reveals a close and helpful community that I would like to join.

In your far more educated opinions, is it worth the effort for me to set up a botting operation? Would anyone be interested in renting these servers out instead? Any advice and thoughts would be appreciated.

You are the competition. FRAND.

Can you give some information about those computers?

 

[rafaelagp]

right now i wouldn't advise you to start botting, bra.
wait for patch 1.07 to see if the economy will pick up again.

Find a better use for dedicated servers imo. Bot a couple instances on your laptop or desktop or something if you wanna see the potential currently. You have 60euros for every 3 db session keys + the cost of the d3 licenses. To fill those to capacity would be quite the investment and you could be lucky enough to drop all that money right into a fresh ban wave.

Thank you for the responses thus far.

About the computers: Each is currently outfitted with 2 quad-core Xeon processors, 16gb of RAM, one or more 15rpm SAS drives, and one or two ATI Radeons, depending on how much I fiddled with each given server (1gb or 2gb memory each, but cannot recall the exact models).

Is there an alternate game that you would recommend botting in for now?

If you want to bot in a real scale, all you need is CPU and RAM.

I assume the Xeons are nice, but your RAM is too less, i had 3 computers, with each 32 GB RAM, they handled each ~ 30 WOWs & Bots, with Core i-7 and some low cost ATI ~ 100 EUR GPU.

I still have several empty memory banks on each, so could consolidate the memory easily enough (or buy further RAM chips). Any remaining servers can continue their current task (low priority personal research project).

I have one server I have currently dedicated to testing, so I can give any recommendations a try and hopefully can then carry out the same setup on the others.

Bossland, would you recommend I look into botting in WoW as an alternative?

Currently it is probably safer and more profitable to go with botting in wow, but it also requires more knowledge. If you never played wow, it can be quite the time investment to learn how to efficiently bot.

Another advice, start small, experience is everything and don't give up, it will be worth it!
