Last one of these on an alt I leave logged in somewhere:

[2026/04/14 14:31] dullahan·host.exe: entered the region.

Another regular bot disappeared same day:

[2026/04/14 16:55] Belgium: entered the region (770.86 m).

This one was active yesterday:

[2026/04/16 10:31] Strife: entered the region.

Still have a few no profile looking survey bots coming in,.

Oh, and just in the last hour: 'NotAnotherBrendenBotMakeItStop entered the region.'

The sequel will probably be better.

What's a Bonnie Bot? I'm a bit out of the loop on this one. I'm anti bot in general, so I'm sure this was a good thing, but what did they do?
From what Inhave gathered, they seem to teleport to regions and do scans. Try would measure traffic, but also did statistics on usage for things. Like how many Lara vs Reborn vs Legacy bodies there were. And head brands or how many avatars had INM.

I don't think any of their tools surfaced avatar locations, but I would not be surprised if they didn't log who was where.

I think there was also some terrain data gathered, like elevation and probably abandoned vs owned land.
