there are commands sort of like that:

/say - talk to people in your immediate vicinity
/shout \"  \" in your sector
/guild \"  \" in your guild
/group \"  \" in your group

I do like your idea of hearing only part of what is whispered if you are not close enough though.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /

I\'d say just keep trying. When I first got to the point where it said \'receiving world\' I waited a long time, then got an error message. But, the next time I tried, I didn\'t have to wait long and all went fairly smoothly. (Can\'t remember if I restarted my computer before that 2nd try).
Good luck.

I don\'t see why that image should be removed. Come on - it\'s just the equivalent of a woman in her bathing suit. I don\'t think that the PS team should pander to people with odd hang-ups.
As an american I prefer to think of it as a problem with religious zealots rather than a problem with americans...
Unfortunatley there are too many high strung religious nuts in the US - and they give us all a bad name.

Jeez Mr. family guy - you need to relax some. Have you ever been to a pool or beach? What were the people wearing? - probably less than the woman on the startup screen.

I\'m not in a clan, and don\'t know if I want to be. But, I would like to know what choices I have if I do decide to join one...

So... on top of Mortis\' question of \'what clan are you in?\'
I\'m wondering -

What kind of clan is it? (are you: evil, good, of one class of people [thieves, warriors...],etc.).

Hi everyone,
I\'m from northern california (originally from antarctica) ;)

I\'m new here... I\'ve never tried a game like this  - I\'ve played online with a freind (Icewindale, Diablo, etc.), but never in a large community like this. I\'m really looking forward to it.

I like the idea separate race languages that can only be understood by native speakers or those who have taken the time to learn them. I also think that a common tongue that is understood by everyone is a necessity.
    But the real reason that I\'m writing is to say that I think that the \'namebook\' idea is a good one. In the Lord of the Rings, the language of the Rohirrim is Anglo-Saxon... Almost every dwarf name that Tolkein used was taken from the Icelandic sagas. So... in that spirit, maybe a list of dwarf names could be compiled from those sagas and from Old Icelandic and Old Norse dictionaries? (Without using any of the ones that Tolkein has already used [Dain, Balin, Thorin, etc.]).

I just did a quick search and found online dictionaries, such as these:
Old Norse Dictionary
Some Icelandic Words (Scroll down about half way).

Anyway, if anyone is interested in compiling some lists of names I\'d be happy to help. (I\'m definitley no expert, but I am interested in old languages - especially Anglo-Saxon).
