Are introductions dead?

[Miaua]

Its... over...

Not really..

Yes really....
At least this kind which was there now. RP-killing.

Well, every time I've logged in, Hydlaa was in a state of uber quietness... That changed when I logged in a couple days ago, and it surprised me to see a ton of players in the tavern. I suppose the loss of the introduction system is why. I could see strangers being more friendly than before, and there weren't as much OOC chat about "[/introduce to me!]" and complaints of someones spamming people's screens.

+I think its nice like this... "/me describes Miaua" is way nicer then "He looks like (null)."  
+Situations like "Hey! This is suspicious... How do you know my name?!?" Is nicer roleplay encouragement then "[please type /introduce with me targeted to tell my character your character's name]"
+As stated here... People finally chat again with eachother in taverns, plazas and is all nice again

Anyway...

Thanks for hearing us complainers devs
Next (if there will be any, and I'd survive without it for sure) introduction system should be something to recognise who you know and whom not(so ooc name info should stay), not to 'force' newbs to use names IC/OOC correctly with hiding it and giving harder times for good roleplayers.

*bow*

Btw... What did you introductions likers liked on it? There is still no reasonable answer yet, or did I miss it?

I liked it, but I'm glad to see it being withdrawn. In a way, it encouraged people to play their characters and add a little life to  conversations between strangers. However, it didn't seem to be developed enough to be usable, in my opinion. It simply needed some more work to be usable. It did kill some role plays, and was pretty bugged. It never seemed to stay introduced to anyone.

I look forward to its return when it works much better!

Now that @£$€$ Example You see person in town. Do you know his/her name? NO. I Do think this could be offcourse done differently. Maeby examp. the following situtation. Someone named a gomes to person b. Person a ask for exm. could you tell me where is plaze x. in that point person a automatically introduses to person b. and the introduction would be there. then the person a would also in the sametime would ask the plaze x.
gee that was complex to write and prolly has full of typos

Errr.. that's not quite what I meant. I liked it because of the funny conversations it came up with. such as
 
(19:16:06) Camazotz says: Hello, Orgonwukh
Orgonwukh says: [who's that someone?]
(19:16:47) Camazotz says: [which someone?]
(19:16:53) Orgonwukh says: [you someone ]
(19:17:03) Izzabella says: [lol who is talking and sayign hi Orgonwukh ]
(19:17:04) Camazotz says: [Camazotz]
(19:17:13) Rinenud says: [Camazotz]

I hope to see this system again soon!

This system made me stop the most of my rp. That there were few (for me: exactly one) completely ooc situations where it is funny doesn't have something to do with increased rp that it apparently (should have) caused. And to be honest, I think all someone-jokes are already made now and not only once...

I still am happy that it got deactivated again and am curious to see the more well thought version (And if it won't come... Im comfy with that, too   )

No no no no... you don't get it...

'someone related jokes?' No. The things that weren't jokes were funnier.

Maybe it would have been a bit simplier if there was something like a command to introduce to everybody in a circle of XX meters around you. Like going into a pub in real life, jumping on a table and crying "Hey, my name is XXXX...." in the global silence. Some of my friends said me it's really funny to do

Wow, since I haven't been able to do anything but hang around at home (this sucks), I've been on PlaneShift way too much, and it seems to me that Hydlaa's always crowded (mostly the tavern). Strangers actually talk now.
