AFK Feature?
« on: May 30, 2011, 12:42:31 am »
Just a simple idea, toggled in Options or Action/Emotes. You check a little box that puts AFK above your nametag (even if nametags are off). This is good in case one of your friends tries to find you while you're gone, they know why you're not responding.

I think you could type something like,
/afk
it would be a lot quicker (or at least i think it will :P )

It should be saying: BRB because more people use brb.. or it should say both.

Yeaahhh, I've been wanting something like this. I hate getting spammed with whispers when I'm away and having to try and find them in the chat. >.<

That's exactly what inspired me to post this thread. XD And when you come back and you have all these people surrounding you....

@ Nyan Cat, either would work, but I always thought AFK to cover all away abbreviations. XD

Thank you to everyone who votes and comments. :3

I think afk would be nice, but also with like an stance thing to go with it(eg. sitting), which would make it easier to see that your afk. Maybe the stance could be your char eating a meal... but then people would misuse the afk option, so nevermind. Oh, it could be a muffin your char is eating so people can't use that for rp purposes, and you cant move or talk while in afk. If you do, it would return your status to normal.

A common AFK pose is when the character is partially transparent with the words AFK above them. Just saying BRB doesn't work because it can get pushed up off the chat. An AFK pose would be really nice.
