Bots in Second Life are third party programs used to access the server to perform and automate various tasks like camping, group joining, greeting and even copying/cloning. They are based on LibSecondLife’s code, which is Open Source, and are very lightweight since they’re text only. Unlike, those bots found in mmorpgs and other online games, […]
“Oh my!”, was the reaction I gave myself when I found out how much 1A Bot cost. All the while I thought Thoys SL Bot was already expensive at 2,000L$ but now, compared to 1A Bot, it’s very cheap.
I first found out about the cost of 1A Bot from another resident who inquired about Thoys […]
I was at my place in-world, 3 Stars and a Sun, yesterday to refund Awsome Clawtooth his 2,000 L$ because, for some unknown reason, my Thoys SL Bot Vendor did not work. I contacted Thoys Pan about it and he told me that it’s just a bug in the vendor. He also told me to just replace it and it will work again which I did. After all of that was resolved, I suddenly remembered that I still have some money from Earn2Life, that made me check the ATM. I received around 100L$ from it. I also remembered to check my HoppyPay balance. To do that, I went through my inventory and wore the HoppyPay HUD which showed that I have a balance of about 8L$. Well, that’s not a lot but I won’t be able to get it until it reaches 10L$. To reach the payout limit of 10L$, I did a few hops using the HUD and a few minutes later my balance was pass the payout limit of 10L$ (see screenshot).

As of this writing, that’s the number of avatars or Second Life residents registered in PikkuBot’s database. Now, what the heck is PikkuBot? I just found out about it today while searching for Second Life Bots. To be blunt:
PikkuBot is a Bot for Second Life. You can use it e.g. to earn money on Second Life camping chairs.
Well, that is how it is described in it’s website and I guess that’s the best definition for it since it is really a bot used for camping to earn money in Second Life. LOL!

Most people will say that bots are just good for camping. Well, they are indeed good for camping but, come on, be creative. There are other things you can do with an SL Bot and I found out about it when I attended Thoys Pan SL Bot Owners Meeting. The meeting isn’t really a meeting but it was like a show and tell kind of a meeting. SL Bot owners came to, well, show off their bots and there was a contest too for the most original bot. The prize was 1,000L$ or a new registered bot to your name.
I know there are many SL Bot owners in Second Life and many of them are land owners or estate owners too. Yeah, you heard that right, land owners. They use bots to camp on their own land to increase traffic. I’m not sure if I had mentioned this somewhere but I once encountered a resident who told me that he was buying 100 bots and he will use them to increase his land traffic and then sell it at a higher price. Well, that’s one thing bots can do for you. Is there anything else?
Well, at the meeting, I took the opportunity to browse around Thoys Pan’s office and there were signs inside his building showing some of the things what an SL Bot can do for you (see photos).
Hmmm… since age play is not allowed in Second Life. I guess using bots as children is an alternative as long as they remain bots I guess. Still, you may get in trouble for this since bots are actually avatars with their own accounts.
If you really need protecting then why not. Feeling safe is always better than being afraid all the time. Ha ha ha!
Now this is taking the phrase “go screw yourself” literally (in a virtual setting). Well, there are Real Dolls in real life so I guess this could act like the SL version of them.
See, they are not only good for camping. They are also good for other things. One really good thing you can do with bots is that you can use them as greeters that is if you are using Thoys SL Bot because other bot programs don’t have the Pandorabot feature. With Pandorabot activated, your bot will be able to communicate (talk) with other residents. You will need to sign up with Pandorabot to use the feature though but sign-up is fast and easy.
And don’t forget the 25,000L$ Survey Bot at Sony&BMG Island which is owned by the Second Life Research Group. That’s a very neat use for a bot. I wonder who won that 25,000L$???
Anyway, if you want to have a bot in Second Life then you can either use SLeek which is FREE or get Thoys’ SL Bot which cost L$2,000. SLeek is very good and free but the current version has a huge memory leak. Thoys has features not available in SLeek like integration with Pandorabot, listening to dialog messages and it uses memory better with very low CPU usage. Both are good so the choice is yours but if you choose Thoys’ SL Bot then you can register your bots at 3 Stars and a Sun.
If you do drop by at 3 Stars and a Sun and you happen to catch Kabalyero Kidd there then you are very much welcome to talk to him. His replies may be off at times so please bear with him because he is still learning. Ha ha ha!
Anyway, bots are not only good for camping and if you use your imagination then I’m pretty sure you’ll find a lot of good things you can use them for.

One day, I was moving things around at 3 Stars and a Sun when suddenly I received 2,000L$ from someone I did not know. I was surprised and also got scared because who in their right mind would give someone 2,000L$. Call me paranoid but I thought someone was giving me dirty money. A few minutes later it happened again and then again and then again. I was getting 2,000L$ and it was coming from different people. To protect myself, I started taking screenshots just incase. If the money was dirty, at least I have something to show Linden Labs.
I was too shocked and surprised (scared too) to notice that I was only receiving 500L$ of the 2,000L$. I finally noticed that when I began to calm down. I carefully watched the dialogue boxes and after receiving 2,000L$, 1,500L$ was then sent to Thoys Pan, creator of SL Bot. At that moment, I was relieved because now I’m sure that the money wasn’t dirty. It was coming from Thoys’ SL Bot vendor. Whew! What a relief!
I watched and saw a series of avatars pop in and pop out. Each one was a different avatar and each one was registering and paying Thoys’ SL Bot vendor. The vendor even encountered a problem, it stopped responding due to stack error. The avatar that was using it ask me if I can fix it but unfortunately I can’t. What I did was to remove the broken vendor and replaced it with a new one. The avatar was able to finish his transaction.
I had a brief chat with one of the avatars and after finishing what I was doing I logged off. The next day I checked my transaction logs and found that I earned 20,000L$ commission from Thoys’ SL Bot Vendor. WOW! That’s a lot of bots!
