[neko kyouran]

Do they? O.o

* neko kyouran makes a note to go try "you suck" on the first npc he finds next time he goes in game to see what the response is.

[Peacer]

maybe a some default and various replies should be added to all npc's like "hello" "see you later"

or you could make a group and insert some responses, like. Guard npc's "see you later" and those getting general responces from the guard group replies would say

1. Guard looks at you "May I see you again in one Piece"
2. Take care and watch out if you're going out there
3. stay out of trouble till we meet again

while the merchant group would say

1. return with your pockets full of tria and empty of items *grin*
2. come back again very soon

If individual responses should be made instead the code could check for these first if there isn't anything then it checks the group replies. If it doesn't match anything "What are you saying?"

[LigH]

In general, NPCs would understand "Who are you?". If not, they are probably being worked on, to get quests implemented.

[fuzo]

It's really funny how NPCs don't have the slightest idea what "how are you" means. On the other hand, almost every insult i use on them is working perfectly.

(Not really happened, but essentially thats how it goes):

me: Hi there!
npc: hm?
me: Hello!
npc: wha?
me: who are you?
npc: rephrase that, will you?
me: F**K OFF!
npc: How dare you insulting me like that! NPC's like me also have feelings. I'm gonna have to report that incidence!
me: phewww..

(21:45:23) Roya Vuntarr says: If I die, I will just reincarnate when I return from the Death Realm, so I don't see why that should give you satisfaction.

[Parallo]

Do they actually say they will just reincarnate from the death relam? Thats terrible. Its really against the settings.

Well Krans dont breathe, and there is lots of plants growing in the submerged lower levels that produce a never ending Oxygen supply (if in fact  there is any oxygen at all)

Yup. A lot of them do, anyway. (Eh... don't ask how I know that...)



And sorry about the ill-concealed profanities, Kay.

(Though you might want to add 'kwdecide' to the chat-filter (I came up with that anagram all by myself!), as I noticed it wasn't filtered out in-game. Hey, I could be Planeshift's official swearword-consultant!)

[Under the moon]

Speaking of the dead...

Ask Death this:

"Am I dead?"

[LigH]

^ I was still a little confused in the early morning; took me a while to realise that you refer to the "Death Guardian"...
