I have a script similar. I disabled all the guest functions in the bot since AOC doesn't support chatrooms the same way as AO did. Created a new !apply command that people can type to add themselves as a guest, and modified the messages sent to the user. A notice is made in the guild channel that someone has applied, and the guild channel is reminded every 20 minutes until the applicant is removed or is promoted to member (by speaking in guild chat by the autoadduser script generally). I can post it tonight after work, but I'd have to clean it up some as it has my guild's name and whatnot hardcoded.

I'm waiting for someone to discover how to have the bot itself send guild invitations so that I can let any member invite applicants without needing Guild Invitation powers (as it unfortunately always comes with Kick and other abilities). Though, I'm sure I've read somewhere that those commands aren't a part of the chat server. 

That's the thing, I saw something about Age of Conan running 3 servers for every realm. One is the game server, another is the chat server and then the third is like a community/interaction server. If you noticed how sometimes you can't join parties or see that you're in a guild, and guild members do not appear on your friends list -- this is a case where that community server has crashed. Whatever this server may be called, I'm dubbing it a 'community' server for the sake of this conversation. The point is: the community server handles guild and party related functions.

While hunting down a PHP bot over a week ago before Noer got this all working with a modified BeBot, I was looking at some of the other threads on both US and EU forums. I recall reading somewhere that another dev managed to connect to both the chat server and this community server with one toon, while still playing with a different toon on the same account. Now I don't know what sort of bot that was or even if it was at the bot stage at all. I wonder if it would even be worth it for anyone in this community to try to create a second connection in the same PHP bot to manage both chat and guild functions. Sounds like a lot of work, and sadly I'm more of a scripter than a developer.

This really is off discussion though, and probably belongs in another thread. 

Look up  AOC CHAT.   It is a out of game chat program,  as far as I am aware it does not connect to the game server.  yet I am able to send  /guild invite PLAYER  commands to it and it accepts them.

So someone out there has figured out how to get around this.

And yes, I can connect using AOC CHAT on one character. and play on another. 

The source for AOC chat is availalbe. I tried to take a peak but my version of Visual Studio is an older version than the one it was created in... 

I notice AOC chat can chat via tells and:
PlayField = /ooc
Guild
RegionStygia

with that said, the bot if ranked high enough in the guild should be able to send a /guild invite command.

ok, what would i needto change to get the bot to advertise for guild recruitment in ooc chat say every 1.5 hours?

Don't do it. Public channels are holy and getting your bot to use them is the first step to getting banned.
I know I'll personally petition all bots I see making use of the public channels.

Why would having my bot say something I would say be bad?  Even if I have to manually type the command to get the bot to say it.  I dont see the logic in it being sacred.  Either I tell people to ask the bot, or it just posts guild info itself like I would have done.  I dont see a problem if there is no automated timer.
