I was running around through the public maps and I couldn't help but wonder to myself which users were taking part of an rp and those who weren't.
So I just had an idea come to me: small icons that would float over the player's head that would reveal what they are up to. They icons would symbolize very general ideas such as a smiley with a helmet on for rp, one with binoculars for a member who is searching (possibly for a mate, group, rp players; it wouldn't be specific), and maybe just a silly face for those who want to join dance lines!
I understand that having icons constantly over one's head could be quite annoying, so I would also suggest a toggle feature, giving the user the option of seeing the icons or not.
I kinda have the feeling that someone else has come up with this idea...if this idea is already out there, please direct me to that thread and lock this one.

I'm usually against anything floating over my head. I don't even really like nametags, though of course they're neccessary in public maps. But I think this would be useful in a way, and the toggle option would be a must have.
I think this would tie in with like an idle icon, or an "AFK" one.
Either way,good idea, it'd be useful.
-
I'm not too sure about that. Specially the emoticons part. I'd actually like it if we'd know what people were up to. But the emoticons is a big nono for me. xD
I'd prefer colors instead, like in msn or skype.. maybe? Just shaped like a square? xD
-Green for users who are just sitting around, chatting with friends, looking for someone to start a conversation with, etc.
-Red for users who are Rping maybe? For players who are currently surfing on the internet and sort of afk-ish. Or just when they do not want to be disturbed, etc.
-Orange for the players who are away from keyboard.
Players should definitely be able to toggle it. To avoid some users being unhappy. c:
Although it's your idea and your idea only. xD I just wanted to show my side of it, and how I would like it.(:
-
I think I actually would prefer the colours.
-
I think I like the colors too, actually. But instead of a square, maybe just the color of the font of a user's name tag? That would make it easier on the developers than having to add in an extra shape with its own motion etc.
..."to see what others are up to..." I never really meant it in a "stalker" way, but it would prevent people from just randomly running into an rp and starting a dance line. XD
-
Yeah, that sounds good too. c:
And neither did I, the ''stalker-ish'' thing didn't even cross my mind. o.o xD
This would definitely help a lot of users, maybe there should be one extra color to tell if a user is ''searching''.
Like blue? Searching for a RP, mate, friends.. anything really. (:
-
I very much like this idea. No more random whispers from people when I'm AFK. >3
-
I think the coloured name font is a good idea. :)
-
I like this idea :D
-
I strongly agree with you idk what to choose with the idea though..the colors? or the emoticaon notice? idk but i love this idea!
-
I'm going to have to go ahead and add my approval to the coloured name idea - but floaty icons could also be cool in a way! It would make FeralHeart seem a whit like the Endless Forest, rofl.
-
One thing which would definitely help would be a way to notify someone that you were AFK.
And maybe also a message that you could set to respond to any whispers, something like "I am away from the keyboard". I don't know, rofl
I just think it'd help :3
-
I love the respond to whispers idea. Would be very helpful!
Hope Kov will consider this. ^^
-
You can color you char's mane XD....I love the idea but I really don't like anything floating over me its kinda freekin me out :i.Imagine that sometimes I play,some people have their chars behind me and when I think he-she is not around I turn and jump off my chair -_-".Well about the toungue...:/ well...
-
@Dafniforfree
I'm pretty sure they're talking about names, not manes. :3
-
@Harkane/Dafniforfree
and I'm sure lots of people don't want to have a colourful mane anyways, rofl.
-
That's sound pretty cool for the whispering idea
-
I think it'd help a fair bit. :3
-
Just an inspiration XD.Well...if you just have your name tag colored in different colors meaning in each situation something like afk I think its great :D
