As you know, we changed the bot name generation several months ago. Previously, it used the succubus pet name generator, which often resulted in duplicate names, something that was not ideal.
Our new system has been performing almost perfectly, it can generate over 8 million unique names. However, there is still a possibility that bot names may overlap with real player names, which can cause issues.
To address this, all Party and Battle Bots will now have an asterisk (“*”) at the end of their names.
Also, this way you'll always know if you're seeing a bot or a real player.
