ok this might just be me wanting this but..
basically i find it hard to sepperate out the text coming from shout and from people talking around me, i also find it hard to quickly match up the person talking to the player model in a rapid conversation
on the server i used to work on (which admitedly was a isometric 2D perpective thingy) the text appeared above the head of the player saying it
could this be implenented with a facing sprite (could even look like a speech buble)
this would also incorporate hearing distance as the player would have to be standing reasonably close to be able to read it
the only concern i can think of that needs some consideration is how you hear someone talking who is behind you
perhaps in that case (ie within hearing range but not facing the character) the text could appear on a designated part of the screen (maybe even without a name unless the person is on your buddy list... ie you hear the voice but cant see who it is.. but if you know the person you recognise the voice)
anyways..comment/flame away :)

jeh, flame time :D
The GUI has been completely redone for Crystal Blue, the chat has changed a lot.. wouldn\'t it be wiser to wait and see what\'s that like before suggesting any changes? :baby:
also, there has been a lot of discussions about the chat window already, use search! :baby:
ok, enough flaming :P
I don\'t know about a thing above people\'s heads.. wouldn\'t that make it really hard to read if a person writes faster then you can read(what happens to the previous sentence if the person who wrote it writes another sentence)?

my bad.. didnt search + since im quite new here i kinda assumed the chat was planning to stay how it is currently
anyways..you raise a valid point..all i can say is that on the server i used to work for that had the chat method implemented the user options provided a setting for the time that chat text remained on screen
additionally there was a \'journal\' with which you can review all the chat messages you have recieved

Is it just me or are other people starting to get tired of hearing about Deddarus\' other server? I don\'t want to play Ultlima Online again, nor do I want to play one person\'s interpretation of UO. Maybe I\'m alone in this.....
