2. Computer program run concurrently with an online game to give the player an unfair advantage. Bots may alter the game environment, boost the abilities of the player's character or hinder opponents. Writing bots requires a great deal of skill; using them almost none.

Short for 'robot', specifically a cyber-robot, almost exclusively used on the internet.

Short for robot. An automated machine or computer program designed to perform a specific task with little or no human direction. Unfortunately, also the means by which half of the definitions on Urban Dictionary are sent to Quality Control.

In my definition, a bot is a program specifically designed to automatically play a game for the owner. If you have ever played a popular game, you have probably seen some (or maybe you didnt realzie they were bots).

Lineage 2 is my favorite game, but you have several types of players. Otakus, Hardcore, newbies, and cheaters. Otakus play the game religiously for 16 hours a day. Often because a game may support a fetish like anime. They are generally helpful because they are incredible lonely in real life. Hardcore players also level quickly like the otaku, but they can afford to kill anyone who is weaker then them. They generally have a small social life because instead of chatting around with newbies, they are grinding for a new level. The newbies are people who simply cant understand the game. They are constantly bugging Otakus or other newbies for help, money, or tips. They generally quit after a month or continue on to be one of the other 3. The cheaters are like the Otaku or Hardcore, the only difference is they dont work for their levels. They have a program, or bot, that levels them faster, longer, and more effeciently then either of the other 3. This last group is obviously the most intelligent.

Originating from robot. Bots are a type of SPAM. It is usually an advertisement or some other device that impersonates a human in order to promote a commercial interest. Usually they are found on places like myspace, aim, aol, and other public chat/meeting sites, they usually pretend to be hot girls and tell desperate guys to go to visit my webcam at xxx.com. It is not a real person, some are now using AIM also which they use automated replys to advertise their site. It is also becoming popular to advertise get-rich schemes. Sometimes its hard to tell if it is a bot.
