Jagex: "RuneScape has had over 200m accounts created" The accounts:

Introduce a new skill: Leadership / Commandeering. Everyone gets a bot. At level 10, you get 2 bots and so on until you unlock your 10th bot at level 99. The bots do exactly this and can follow you around like pets and can deal minor damage or carry items / mine resources for you. Basically kinda like summoning but cooler because you can make them talk/move/dance etc. You level up the skill by having your bots gain levels or defeating bosses with you. RSN: Hieb

Each Server/World has their own NPC Simple Steven that just roams randomly around the whole map and has the stats as a player and can do everything just like the video, anyone can grab him to train and gear him up or whatever, race to get steven to maxed out level.

It could be a quest “stupid Steven” or whatever. And he’s basically lost and needs your help. He doesn’t quite understand the game and his father is very disappointed in him, so u have to teach him skills, by the end of it you help him to craft his own sword armour whatnot and kill a basic npc. U bring him back to his father who is now very impressed and proud of his son 😁 wholesome and would make for a fun quest! Rsn: ImPastaBaked

Steven with a max cape! All done by commands, he could just be a random guy wandering around, until people find him and train him! See how long it takes to get him a max cape. Best Easter egg type of thing ever. imagine!? Steven would get legendary status like zezima

Replace the duel arena with Steven Wars. each player gets a team of stevens and does various pvp challenges with them. This could be a bracket competition earning points the further you go. Add a reward shop to upgrade your Stevens, and a custom Steven pet that you roll for like BA gamble. rsn:JorahTheCat

Preprogrammed clan wars: Every participant gets a given number of bots, has to write out his commands ahead of time and battle it out with another player. Last bot standing wins. effectively you program your battle strategy and have to execute that.

Miscellania update: You have "Kingdom", you have X amount of these kind of NPCs from the start (you can get more later on); Island itself gets basic resources, you buy equipment for NPCs, you train them for higher levels, they train their levels, gather resources, unlock new resources etc. You can upgrade Miscellania with your GP (coins sink), you get some sort of idle income from that in form of resources, maybe some kind of untradeables that only player can use. Because having that kind of bots running wild would make more issues.

A PERFECT idea would be to ENHANCE MISCELLANIA! Command some NPCs to do certain tasks to gain you GP and items to help you. It’s no different than selecting what you want your kingdom to do, except you can go deeper and specialize them for exactly what you want. IMAGINE! Walking around YOUR kingdom and literally telling NPCs what to do to make your account gains better. I think that would be sick af. RSN: Barq

It would be fun to have a community controlled account similar to the “twitch plays Pokémon”. Could add some rules so players can’t abuse it. Would be cool to see what people can make it do. Maybe there is even a separate world for it where players are in a spectator mode and only the bot(s) can interact with the world but you can follow it into instances

They make an NPC who can be instructed to help you once every 3 days. That NPC builds a storyline based on the commands it is given and, similar to the Tears quest, tells a story of what it has done when you ask.

This could be a quest turned mini game after completion. "Army of One" would be a great start for the quest line. Steven was a regular solider from one of the kingdoms, captured and experimented on making clones of Steven. You start by rescuing the real Steven, who can learn to control the others via the quest. The mini game would be Steven and the army of Stevens fighting against his captors who cloned monster NPCs.The type commands would work on 5 or 6 Stevens at a time not to boggle down everything. A plot twist could be that each Steven becomes conscious and learns a certain fight style. Almost like a giant chessboard with Stevens. Flamedmnky

Jagex should use these bots in the Burthorpe games room so we can finally have opponents to play against! RSN: Kaizzzen

Commanding an army of NPC's might actually be a awesome way to resurrect castle wars

Sailing skill with controllable NPCs that help do things on the ships. You could get crew members just like you get butlers but at different ports. If the ship goes down depending on the skill level some survive others have to be replaced at a higher cost, creating a GP sink within the skill.

NPC Ironmen as pets. They can’t get stuff for you but you can train them and have them level up, resetting on death. They can pick up and equip items and the owner get messages on what they get. You can also duel your Ironman with someone else’s. It’s like super complex RuneScape Pokémon.

How about for a quest around Christmas , where you have to set the bots in a way to collect materials to make toys, or something for the children of runescape, that santa can deliver. It doesn't have to be practical but could be a funny quest and i think the jagex team could make a fairly fun quest with this mechanic

So we can do Botwar you command 50 bots to attack another clan like castle wars but where you sit up high and command your army. If you say “range” they’ll switch to a ranger weapon and if you say “melee” they switch to a melee weapon, same goes for magic, but if you say “all range” they switch armour and weapon to range and if you said “all melee”, “all magic” they’ll switch. The bots can take commands such as eat. Instead of typing commands there could also be commands you can click where your inventory slot is, kinda how we click and change settings on game.

A minigame where you're a commander of a Steven army fighting 1-3 other commanders with Steven armies would be amazing. You could gear them in pre-determined sets, like Steven 1-10 Archer, Steven 11-20 Mage, Steven 21-30 Berserker. I'd play the hell out of that.

A runescape event, starting in a world with 2 bots as a group in a random forest on the map and you fight others for resources, territory or more bots. You can kill a group and get their loot and territory or even add the bots to your group. You can secure territories in every single place on the map even villages or cities (with added benefits), because your bots won't be able to leave the game until the end. They can defend that place but they can't get direct decisions from you if you are offline so its a risk whether to hide them in a cave or have them in a village or city.

I could see this being the new fight arena. You have a champion, that you can bet small amounts to win on, but most of the gold would held to upgrade your champion. They would be controlled by the voice text commands.

a new quest: War within (ft steven and his army). The falador White knights have found a mole, you must take a legion on Falador's finest(stevens), and wage war against the Black Knights but only after you find out which White knight is the mole. when waging war you must use commands to align your legion toward the target or goal. Pushing from one capture point to the next. This quest ties together The slug menace quest and you finish it by slaying Mother Mallum to collect your reward. You're rewarded with the White Knight cape that has best in slot prayer bonus, but only if you're wearing full Proselyte, with either the proselyte full helm or a new slayer helm reward allowing you to combine your slayer helm with a proselyte full helm. The slayer helm reward is only rewarded to players that have gained enough points from a new mini-game(Falador Massacre), where in you wage war against another player only using chat commands to direct your army to victory. RSN: weesh RS

In Temple Trekking in RS3 you have to level up your companion, but you just have to hope they attack what you want them to. It would be very helpful if you could control their actions with text commands. I think it would make for a fun minigame in OSRS.

Have the bots as something like a pet, so that you either have to farm for it or straight up buy it from a vendor. Make them like little goblins or something and have the ability to train some skills on them. And the hole point of it is to be able to fight other player's bots with your own bot. Like Pokémon but in runescape.

Risky using your main to do this, even though it doesn’t seem like you rebuilt much anyways Hope ya don’t get banned

Maybe a mercenary camp where you can hire different levelled NPCs and maybe you should need to complete a quest and prove yourself before they'll fight alongside you. Get them to move into your POH and pay them similarly to how the butler is paid. 10k every X damage given or received 🤷‍♂️ lots of possibilities for this idea.

At best I'd say that having a quest that involves you leading an npc with text chat would be the best and easiest way to implement it. Would be funny to have like a magical robot or mystical butler have to command with text chat you learn throughout the quest. After the quest, they could be a butler or servant who can make construction a bit easier for you in your player owned house. ZMajor

I think you nailed it. Group ironman with only a group of your Stevens. Command each one individually or have them work together. The player stays level 3 and is simply a “birds-eye view” commander of his Group Steven-man mode. 😂

Skill: Basically, Summoning, but instead of summoning familiars, you can summon NPC's. For instance, if you summon a dwarf, you might get some boosts to your mining stats and him helping you mine would boost the rate of mining (e.g. mine rune ore faster, mine fallen star faster etc). Same could actually be done with other NPC's, for instance the ones that clean herbs, decant vials etc. and all provide some minor boost to stats. Minigame: Quests on hard-mode. If you have finished a quest - e.g. underground pass, you have the option to "help" an NPC who wants to complete the quest to go through it. Perhaps, instead of having to manually write commands, the player would have controls in an interface (With commands). And for using items, there would be a command "use" and then it would transition to NPC's inventory where you can select the item to use. Each time you help an NPC to complete a quest you would receive two points : reward points to be traded in for goodies useful for you as a player and reward NPC Quest points you can use to purchase specific items to help the next NPC with their quest. This could be anything from better armour for combat heavier quests, to food type, and even providing specific skill boosts. To expand on this idea, you could even have a specific "bank" for this quest minigame, where you can store stuff that you lend the NPC's for the duration of the quest. Some quests might be tedious, but some might even be fun as hell. Furthermore, this can actually help immerse older players back into the lore if the player would need to do specific quests in a specific order (so e.g. they can choose 1 of 3 quests to help each time). The more you help NPC's with quests, perhaps the more "recognized" you would become in game by other NPC's which provides additional perks, fun interactions and "respect".

OSRS name Ayromlord. Hear me out. There is this quest where you get knighthood. So a knight have a squire (bot). This squire can help you carrying loot, food or potions (making more kills/trip on slayer task for example), but you have to traine and equipe you squire so he can survive the journey. Maybe you can even use him on pvp by making him cast teleblock and snare. Even some bvb (bot vs bot) were you use your squire like a pokemon. But if your squire dies he dies for ever, or lose tons of xp, and you have to pay to get a new one or expand money and time training him again. It is fun, useful, and you maybe even get to really care for you squire.

I think you came up with the best idea, Have a group ironman of 4 bots you can only control with commands, you're not allowed to directly skill or quest only command your amry to do it for you.

A text based adventure game where Steven owns a tavern and in this tavern is a Bard, and a party of adventurers (rogue, warrior, ranger, mage). Going into the text based adventure puts you in black top-down instance where a group of other stevens dressed in white make the landscape and the party makes their way through to complete their assigned quest (killing a dragon or retrieving lost artifact etc.). The quest is narrated by the bard.

It always amazes me how random dudes breaking the rules continue to create better content that Jagex with their millions of dollars in revenue.

A drunk bot in every bar and you get to command them around the game to help you with tasks until they pass out. You have to supply them with beers in order for them to be obedient and not wander off. RSN: Farsee

It would be cool to be able to have one of these bots as a companion in the game that can help you out with different things. For example it can bank for you when your inventory gets full or other stuff like that. RSN Pure Piccard

It should be used in a miniquest after Dragon Slayer 2. In the miniquest you get to revive Bob the Cat in his human form Robert the Strong, but because of the revival he lost his memory of doing the skills in Runescape. In the Quest you need to learn Robert every skill there is in runescape by giving him orders like you would order the Steve around. It would be up to you to find out all the commands to make Robert do every skill in the game while you take him trough Gielnor. By doing so Bob wil retrieve his memory’s of the game and his life and wil be able to continue his life.

If you want interactivity, probably the best way to do this would to involve a greater processing element for mobs. Since it's limited to text at the moment, maybe the best is to involve a tag-based conversation system with quest NPCs that can resemble the longer term mystery games of games like Ingress and Overwatch.

Every player can get one of those as a quest reward. It will be like an npc that logs in with you and out when you do. Essentially a squire. You can train its stats just by commands, can hold items, bank but, if you send to bank or to bring items you have to pay him like you would pay a buttler(cash goes to jagex's piggy bank), only he has to walk/run/teleport just like a player. Has a finite number of bank slots, cant train while u are offline, can't hold items more valuable than say 100k.

Bots TeamFight Tactics: Everyone gets a set of bots which they can gear up (melee, ranged, mage) given some initial gold. Then, the bots battle against other players' bots in rounds. The player can use commands to determine how the bots will fight (i.e., target x, eat y, etc.).

an update to temple trecking where you go on expeditions with members of a party that you have to gear up yourself ( extra item sink also ) with much better rewards than whats currently offered

The NPC bots could be an incentive to bring pkers back into the wilderness. Have the bots roam around doing random tasks, wildy slayer, lava drags, Revs, ect, and if you pk them you'll gain their loot like normal. Should satisfy alot of the requests for updated wilderness content as many believe it is a dead area right now. -Exept Defet

I think a questing companion bot would be dope, hire them for so much gp per hour and it scales the higher lvl / higher risk (like harder quests) or maybe something like this except just for slayer, spend slayer points and hire a companion bot

I remember back in the day there was always rumors of adding sailing as a skill and that you could captain your own boat, they could introduce this skill and you start off with 10 crewmates, you can explore different parts of Gielinor and theres a random chance that if someone is coming back from where you are sailing you have a battle encounter and you both have to command your crew to load cannons turn the ship and fire. If you wanted to take it further you could also level up their "sea-legs" which either could increase response time or their damage output and you can dress them up with unique costumes that you get from winning battles at sea. Could even have them dock with you on unique islands and you get to scavenge materials to upgrade your ship but the islands have mobs to attack your crew. IGN: Acazandra

A sequel to Royal Trouble- we’ve established Miscellania and Etceteria don’t have armies, so now you must build one to defend your kingdom from pirates

A mini game or random event where you have to blend in with the Stevens whenever the “commander” gives commands. Points are racked up based on how long you can make it. Like Simon-says

Implement a roaming npc that walks the entire map and gives you a clue scroll of varying difficulty if you help guide him to his destination with text commands, he could even have prompts like "I'm so thirsty I can't go on" and you need to give him a jug of water.

Minigame: Each person gets ~10 minutes to level up 3 stevens and gather gear for em. Xp boosted. Stevens can get gear by finding in chests or dropped from enemies, crafted. And then they fight other people stevens or new boss. Idea needs improvements :D

This should definitely be a gielinor games challenge. “Who can make the most GP using steven bots?”

They could make a Pet that interacts with some comands rsn:dancabper

Knight Mode: at L10 you get a squire, L20 a flagship, L30 a Drummer and so on until L100 you get your final house member and can create a banner/house for your name. At that point you can recruit other low rank players to fight for your banner and gain their own nobility. (At L100 you have to be "knighted" by another player that's already "noble")

They could be used to (finally) implement speed running quests into the main game. Lemme explain! Yaknow how in Mario Kart when you redo a time trial there’s a ghost version of you that performs your best time so you know how well your doing versus your best? What if one of these bots (one for each quest) was programmed to run the quest at the current world record pace. That way even new speed runners could measure how they were doing against the world record time. Then, whenever the world record is beaten, that ghost bot updates their pathing to match the new current world record. Hopefully it’s making more sense to you than it is me, but I’m envisioning that ghost version of your character in Mario Kart and how that allows you to measure your best time. Let me know what you guys think!😊

All I can think about is that Steven dying at lava dragons and being sent back to Lumbridge. Imagine some new player logs into a members world for the first time and is just trying to ask Steven for help and Steven just keeps repeating the poor new player.

It'd be cool if you could control the gnomes during Tree Gnome Village like this. Actually become like a war commander as part of the quest.

Make a who-dun-it murder mystery quest where all of the NPCs are able to be commanded and questioned. Some of the NPCs would have unique responses for certain phrases used. The entire quest could be randomized so it is different for each player. Some specific ideas would be having the suspects try on articles of clothes, NPC to NPC conversations, recreating the crime scene, gathering everyone (or individuals) in a room for questioning. During questioning, certain NPCs will react and behave differently based on who else you have in the questioning room with you. RSN: Skyrim

A quest where you have to train up the bot/npc to beat a boss. Or after you complete a quest you get a npc that you can use to do stuff like you did in the video, which would mostly just be used to double inventory size.

I actually like the idea given by the Lunar Diplomancy/Dream Mentor Quest where we the player have to mend physically mentally and spiritually the Npc named, “Cyrisus.” I think it would be cool to put ourselves back on Tutorial Island where we the players have to go back and teach the next generation how to survive like the tutors told us how to play RuneScape. I think Jagex could make an entire quest line where we teach the npc all kinds of things and end up saving them from a dangerous boss in some sort of Grandmaster Quest in the future horizons when we get to check on their progress thru multiple stages of their lives to do a variety of content together like how when you first joined MySpace Tom would be automatically added as your friend it be the same thing thing!

My suggestion would be to keep the duel arena but it's bot vs bot and all duels are done by giving commands to your bot, such as "run five tiles south" "equip granite maul" "use spec attack"

An RTS style minigame where you make bots farm their own mats, level their own skills and craft items, then fight other player's bots should exist

Hear me out: Pest Control rework. You are no longer the fighter but you’re the void knight giving text commands to your army to win the pest control game..

In the kingdom miscellania they can be your loyal subjects. Players can go to war with each other having their own steven army. There can even be a function where you can steal your opponents resources as a "spoil of war" RSN: blaskah

Sell Steven out to people so they can finally have the runescape gf they always wanted. Have a male one and female one and it cost 1mill a day to have him follow you. Or you can purchase him as a pet for like 5mill a month from the servants shop,and you can train him, have him help you boss gather resources. And if that doesn't work because it would bring to much gold in the game, he can interact as an ironman that can take items but not trade them or drop them. So you can't profit from him. Put Steven or Karen locked behind a new master quest as a reward, or even a newbie beginner quest. Make a new skill called slavery or feudalism, and it's acts liker slayer you have to tell your Steven or Karen a task to go preform and it takes x amount of time it cost you a fee to send him to do the task so it acts as a gold sink. Make a new quest called Steven and make it the hardest and longest grandmaster quest and the quest name is Steven. Steven will be located in a random dungeon that is bigger and longer than the underground pass. Upon finding him he can't remember anything or who he is. But he has a name tag that says Steven. Qfter 30 hours of traveling all over gielinor talking to every npc trying to help Steven remember who he is, he finally decides he can't and won't remember so he will just follow you for the rest of your time in gilenor. Steven Part 2 quest. He remembers he crash landed and he's and alien and we finally get the outer space mmo but it's runescape and you travel off of gielinor to a whole new word. With all new content. After a year of Steven falling you around you find out he's really Tupac, d.b. Cooper, Kurt cobain, or Jeffery epstein.

It would be cool to see your pets be able to pick up loot for you and have basic commands, makes them more useful than just cosmetic RSN: Ev756

Steven on Tutorial Island, and in tutorials for minigames and other group activities, learn chat commands(like the special text) and how to coordinate with other players by telling the npc what to do

Excited for the new video :) ty for posting so much!

How about a golem named Steven? Golems are historically inanimate until given a command, you could unlock the ability for Steven to respond to you by doing a mini quest much like the abyss. This mini quest could have a reputation mini stat, and the player within 8 spaces of Steven with the highest reputation is the only one he listens to

MINIGAME: the minigame would be on an instance, a map created with 2 bases and resoueces around the map. 2 teams of players with lets say 5 bots each, that would start lvl 3 and x10xp. EARLY STAGE: Players will spawn inside the base and would have to comand their bots to eaither level up combat skill, or gather resources and craft supplies for the army. Player will have to organize their teams and their army of bots to level some of them to use as warriors while having others fishing or mining to make armours for the battle, they can even leave a more combat based bot guarding their companions on a resource spot to defend them against posible attacks. MID GAME: both teams should have at this point some kind of metropolis where they have a stable base of bots gathering resources and crafting, banking (mostly automatic by comands), combat based bots defending the spots and will begin to try to attack other team base, guiding their bot army and accompanied by other players. they will have to destroy some kind of entrance to the castle that can be defended and repaired (not rebuilded once broken). LATE GAME: Once one or both teams breake into other team's base they would have to capture a pooint by standing (players or bots) on a specific area. A capture % will increace while there are no members of the defending team standing inside the area. First team to capture other one's base win. MECHANICS: once a game starts players will have all same base stats, or maybe choosing between a mix (they will create "their own stats" by choosing if they want more range, less defense, maybe they want to be mages but will result in less stats on melee) players would also start with no items maybe just some gathering and crafting tools to create them and their teams supplies. everything is lost on death. (inside the minigame ofc) if one of your bots die they will also loose everything and will have a coouldown (that will increace over time) to respawn (so in late game if your team kill other team members they will take a while to come back leaving the chance to actually capture the area and avoiding people sending suicide bots to stay on the circle). Bots will have an increace skilling rate like for ex mining 3 ores or crafting x3 runes, to actually make it viable to equip the army and run the "city". comment what you think or your suggestions maybe together we can pull this minigame to actually work. rsn: 4DBeing

I think it would be cool if they made a mimigame or quest where you have to play as a military commander, you have different squadrons of "Steven bots" and have to strategically place them, get them to collect resources, get them to set up barracade and tower. Maybe you have the 3 fighting style units on front lines and then workers in the back getting food, ore for equipment and defences, and lumber. You could do a lot and have battles vs real people also controlling bot.

I’ve been questing recently and have seen a few battle grounds of sorts. The gnome battlefield is what gave me an idea. A cool quest would be where you command a battalion of NPCs during a quest. Tell them to pray during a boss, use a specific combat on rangers behind walls, cast spells to weaken, etc. If all your NPCs die during quest you have to restart. Of course your random responsive NPC floating around the world would be cool. Definitely some potential! RSN: Barq

This is sir puggers evil origin story where he converts to the other side.

Are they a reference to Yugioh Abridged? Everyone Marik mind controlled was named Steve

Jagex should create a mini game where teams of 10 players and 10 “bots” to each player. They control them for 10 minutes in a stealing creations type thing and in the end battle it out. Two teams of 5

This just sounds like botting with extra steps

So... Remember the april fools blog about Pet Ranching? Have your pets fight others but via commands similar to the bots.

I think the coolest way this could be implemented is into existing pets. Pet should get a mini-stats page that you could train them. These stats could be Att/Str/Def/HP, Searching, Digging, Fetching. - Searching could be to used in clue steps, quests and maybe as an rondom activity where you pet can find supplies. Higher lvl is better supplies. - Digging could also be a clue step, but could be combined with searching to find supplies. Higher level = the deeper (or quicker) they can dig. - Fetching could be something equivalent to auto-telegrab. Higher lvl would be longer range. All these stats should be trained through chat commands. Like "Fetch dragon med helm" Of course everyone should have the possibility to do these activity, also if you haven't gotten a pet yet. So cats are also able to do this. But it's just a big flex if you have maxed your Corp pet or something. And pets should be able to fight other pets where ever. That shit is too good to just keep in your POH. Ign:Kaasenpeper

Does controlling bots with chat commands count as botting?

It would be cool to make a survival minigame with these bots. Gather resources, equip your army, then go to war against the monsters. It could be very tactical in that: If you kill a monster, that monster gets added to the list of enemies you might face. So sure, you could kill that dragon for dragonhide, but you better get some anti dragonfire potions if you do. It could be set on a timer that would get increasingly more difficult. There could be a "day" and "night" cycle (just aesthetic changes). You gather resources during the day, and fight at night. At first it is easy. maybe 5 minutes of daytime to gather resources, then 1 minute of night. But then the next day is 4 minutes, and 2 minutes of night. then 3 and 3, then 2 and 4, then 1 and 5. By the end it would be incredibly fast paced with every single second being important. You could incorporate all the skills for survival. Firemaking would be the most important as the monsters don't just go for you and your minions, they go for your fire. Lose your fire, and you lose the game. Battle, defend, send your minions out to gather resources for you and equip your minions for battle. And if your feeling extra spicy, engage in epic PVP battles. It could be a new minigame for Miscillania. As a reward, you could gain a small amount of XP that your minions gained in the minigame for your troubles. I always thought RS was meant to be a survival game that they turned into a MMO. I mean, why else would they have hunting, fishing, farming, and of course, firemaking. making a survival mini game just makes sense and these bots would fit in nicely. IGN: Comrad Squid

Steven has really improved their options. They used to equip items relative to which space they're in.

Castle wars with an army of controllable bots as pawns.

Idk if anyone has already said this and if they did sorry. The best idea I can think of for these npc like bots that follow commands is castle wars, not saying castle wars is dead seems like some people might actually play or some bots do not here to debate that but I know a lot of ppl just join and afk for the tickets to get the cosmetics not calling people out for that I'm in the middle of doing it myself and maybe that's why I have the idea of using these bots in castle wars. Now how simply put there's say 10 for each team or they can have the amount adjust to how many players there are in the match that players can give orders defend/attack could have those objectives be say the gates the mines the flags this spot/area or even so they help defend the player with the enemy flag or vise versa. I'm sure there's more that could be down with these bots in this instance but I think that's a great starting point for a practical use that could bring more excitement to a mini game that seems to be ppl mostly asking for cosmetics rsn: Pixel Cutter

If this could be implemented I personally think owning an NPC would be wicked cool!

Okay I got this...Remember when rs was talking about adding the sailing skill?? These bots could be your crew and you type commands to get them to adjust sails, anchor, steer or other misc. tasks to help you level up. Would be a different approach than point and click? or instead of typing there is a menu like emotes. Rsn: ToxicFox

These bots could be "hired" by a player for their POH after a certain requirement where they would remain and players could try their equipment for PK or for a certain quest, etc. They could provide armour to the bots by storing it in a chest, kind of like the costume storage, and have them equip, run, pray protect, etc.. Players could also hire several of these for clan pk practice.

A cool idea is to command them to light a fire at same time but having différent light logs, and so on the huge fire would make à flag xxxl sized, representing à country or an event :)

IDEIA: Give this command ability to the Construction Servants, and create a "hired companions" service, that can follow you in almost anywhere of Gielinor, carryng itens and helping to kill monsters in multi-combat zones (generating a small combat xp to the player). RSN: Watzkeen

I M A G I N E T H I S ! ! ! ! ! LadyIllidan - As a reward from the "Throne of Miscellania" quest you get X number of these bots that now do as you wish, wherever you wish. Rather than having a few workers that can only do a limited number of things on Miscellania. You TRULY become ruler. The better you rule the more bots you get. :)

A mini game where you have to complete a task with the bot within a certain time. There can be a rewards shop and you earn points for different tasks that you complete. These tasks can have different difficulty levels.

Jagex should add some controllable npc’s around the shades of Morton area to help with that quest when no one else is there to help on the designated world

Each player could have a pet that would follow only the player commands, this could even be a new skill.

Stephen, The new player NPC. Stephen will follow you around until you are a certain combat level. You can ask Stephen things like “How do I sell my items” and Stephen will take you to the GE. You could even integrate it so Stephen gives you links to the RSWiki or other useful things like that. I think this would be a good way of teaching new players the ropes without requiring google research and traipsing through RU-vid videos. Imagine just your own little buddy, holds items for you, cooks you dinner, cleans your POH, Even organises your bank. RSN 2mi

I'd love to see a group ironman like you said where you can fill it with these Steven bots! But like some others posted first, something like this would be super cool at some of the older minigames that don't have so many people anymore - like Clan Wars. I also absolutely loved Hieb's idea of a Leadership skill where you can control an increasing number of npc characters to do simple stuff for you! I would LOVE to see this actually in the game though, it'd be so much fun to play around with and actually be able to level up and equip your own troops and get them to do simple tasks with you. I think it'd allow a whole new way to play the game, without really hurting anything.

A Warcraft-style minigame, where you control stevens to battle waves of enemies, gather resources, and use the resources to build defences. RSN: Thandol Span

"Go fetch me a twisted bow" * Bots run off into the distance * 1 week later... Steven1 wishes to trade with you. Steven2 wishes to trade with you. Steven3 wishes to trade with you. Steven4 wishes to trade with you.

Jagex creating a small number of bot NPCs that play minigames when there aren't enough players might be interesting. Make them something that can be enabled or disabled by the players running it so they can choose to go for a solo game or have a half decent teammate for the games where having a second player makes them more viable. Heck, have them figure out Barb Assault, and thus open it up for solo players rather than requiring the assistance of completely random players who might dip out after a while

Clanwars like minigame where each contestant has a team of steves that will fight to the death. The steves can be equipped with different gear/setups and level brackets. Would be so much fun to control a big ass steve army against other players

A bot that would give you a sort of quest to go through, and would actually watch you do the "quest" and reward you with training materials, like a kit for training construction.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these bots were specifically engineered from the duplicate gold glitch, it's just instead of them taking commands from text the ones that duplicated gold copied another characters movements/animations.

Dream Mentor 2. You enlist the help of Larry from Cold War to make you small enough to enter Cyrisus's head and then you have to command him to fight and complete the quest on his own by using text commands to tell his brain what to do. Unlocks new lunar spells as a reward, that automate processes by animating tools to do production skills for you. RSN: Zaroki

Best thing for these bots is "Twitch chat plays RuneScape" RSN: Manifestoral

TFW you find out sirpugger doesn't know where to stand at the cake stall so that you never ever get attacked by guards
