Default bots != mercs

Mercs are a client (program) design-implemented feature.

If the client supports the use of more than one merc, then we should be able to support it..but, pretty sure it doesn't.


Bots are similar in purpose..but, are a complete eqemu server-side feature.

The client sees them as other 'players' instead of mercs - which is why you can group with them.

It's also why they have an entire command system devoted to their use (mercs only have the client gui window.)

Could it be possible that per player has several merc slots and can switch to different one ?
