Letting an AI agent 'live a life' in a 30-year-old MMORPG: a Reddit experiment proposal
Aeylwar · reddit · 2026-10-20
Reddit user Aeylwar proposes an experiment: run a dedicated AI agent on its own laptop with one minimal instruction — "live a life in this MMORPG following its rules." The game has run for 30 years, has no level cap, intricate NPC relationships, and unsolved mysteries and quests. The author wants to see what the agent chooses: grinding, fishing, puzzle-solving, socializing; whether it hides its AI identity; and whether anti-cheat flags it. The thread asks which model to use, with obvious ToS and detection caveats worth watching in the comments.
