Umm ... I have run bots before in a game, to test the NPCs before implementing them. You don't need 4-5 computers.
All they are is scripted code that can run in a .bat file and looks like a DOS window scrolling through code. They don't load graphical features and all sorts of code such as UI and object interaction gets thrown out. For the purpose of that NPC, it knows what it does and only needs to code to do that job.
Edit: To have some idea easily, load bots in a LAN game of Counter Strike. All those characters are doing roughly the same things as players but they are running on a single client.
OK let me say like this. I know that guy in real life . I was at his home .He live realy close to me . He have 5 lab tops which he bought at 50 euros each from some gipseys who stolled named labtops in germany. Those labtops dont have displays at all. They are all somehow (i realy dont know how) connected to one monitor . Each labtop he own run one client 23/7 botting(in his words this 5 labtops working like this are great for power saving, as he told they spend 400% less electric power than as 5 desktops with 5 monitors). I saw him switching from one client to another and i know he earns roughly 5 to 6 bilion PER day only from those bots in asteroid belts . His income increase futher more from mission running and trading which he does from normal pc he got.
Now there was no .dos windows etc... those was normal clients .
I dont know type of bots etc because im not that good with pc's but one thing i know. 2 years ago he was in Egypt 30 days on holliday from EvE money... and you dont wanna know in what house he lives in.
But i did the math. at current income he has (if he doesnt lie) he makes around 20 usd per hour of doin nothing . I am not sure how much CCP staff is payed but in my country he has higher tax free income than Doctors, Surgeons hell he has salary as our President . No jokes .
And he is small fish... realy small fish in the oceans of rmt traders .... I so want that unholly rage thing to happen all over again... and again... and again... So guys such is this see how ordinary people have to actually work to make money.
And yes im mad and agry and you name it because i cant do that >.> to be honest in this economy if i had chance to earn money like this i would. But i cant so nobody other should also =p
