Idea for /tell or Whisper
« on: March 21, 2010, 03:56:35 am »
Well this is idea 1

you have 3 whispers or /tell and when you click on 'whisper' on your Communications box it comes up with 1, 2 and 3 next to it. so e.g Vakachehk /tell Talad hello. that will pop up in Talads whisper box 1 and then if Laanx /tell Talad: I hate you. it comes up in box 2 and then 3 for an extra one.

Idea 2
you click on Whisper and next to it, comes up make, [playername], [playername].... so then if you want to make a /tell to someone you click 'make write there name and message. or e.g Vakachehk /tell Talad Hello. Talad then clicks Whisper then next to it pops up 'Vakachehk', under it 'make' he then clicks 'vakachehk (which is in red) which says: Vakachehk whispers: hello. and then if Laanx /tell Talad "I hate you." Talad then clicks Whispers seeing Vakachehk, Laanx, Make, next to it and then clicks Laanx (which will be in red) and sees Laanx whispers: I hate you.
you can use a better word than make.
'Make','vakachehk','laanx' will be set out one above another is my idea.
and yeah sorry for using I hate you to Talad.
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

I think that they should just get rid of the meaningless gossip channel and work on this idea!  \\o//

My head hurts just thinking about this.  :@#\


I have an ego so large it has it's own gravity. So in short, yes, everything does revolve around me.

@Earowo: rofl, well said, many of interesting convos have gotten started by misstelling.

I have very little confusion with tells, though I do misstell from time to time. I just click on the buddy list to make sure that I /tell the correct person. I do see what Vakachehk is saying, that way if you are having mulitple tell convos it is easier to keep them organized and see the flow of the different convos. I like the tell system the way it is. 

As to gossip: it is ok, I just wish people would stop using it as a makeshift auction channel and discussing quest solutions. Asking if the quest is flawed is a reasonable topic, but again that is what the help channel is for also.
Don't godmod me and we'll get along fine.

I absolutely agree. It seems to me a good way to not RP.

peoples asking for quest answers is definitly a problem but people see an opertunity for help and they take it, as long as the helpers answer in a /tells it isnt a problem

yes random convos are made by saying the wrong tell to someone but it is not professional and can easily be fixed with more ideas.

as to Gossip I think that its a stupid name for a channel. Also Help could not be the way it is, it could be 'like' gossip but it is ok and no need to muddle things up and make bugs.
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.
