I'm not sure if anyone is concidering it yet, but if you do, I wrote an article that outlines the main changes between AO and AoC.
The article is located at: http://vhabion.net/wiki/articles/from_anarchy_online_to_age_of_conan_at_protocol_level

ps. If you're going to copy-paste the article around, at least credit me k?

Nice research Vhab!

I wouldn't mind doing a bebot version for AoC, but I got currently no plans to play AoC in the beginning.

I have a Bebot running as irc relay bot in AoC atm. Its quite easy to modify.

Once I have completed the modifications to the aochat.php library I will talk to Auno about applying them to his original version.

I'd really love to see what the modified aochat looks like. My guild is going nuts since we all rolled lots of alts and have no simple way to track 'em.

hey, to add to this: AoC has a large playerbase and releasing a bot early, with all of your great experience dealing with the chat system we all know and love [to hate], would be quite awesome and appreciated.

I ran a bebot for some time in AO and playing in AoC I know it has a spot just waiting for it. Basic commands like afk, alts, etc would all be perfect.

P.S. Blueeagle, when buddy keys are enabled I can give you mine and let you in if you'd like to get your foot in the door
