Title: Advertisement 'Chat'
Post by: kahara on March 01, 2011, 10:44:21 pm
I noticed in game, a LOT of younger/inexperienced/noob-ish players tend to 'advertise' their groups, characters, mates and pups for parents/mates/friends/etc. It can clog a chat and become annoying. I think, maybe, adding a "Advertisement Chat" where people can spam with advertisement as much as they want /could/ help clear this up a bit. Anyone looking for those kind of things would keep advertisement chat checked off, anyone not interested would uncheck it.

Yay, nay?

Yay. I agree with this idea! Plenty of times when I'm chatting with friends on local, I miss their messages due to these. It is annoying (sometimes very), and this would definitely help reduce the flooding of chat.

 Hmm... I haven't seen any of this... Scratch that, I have. I've seen people advertising mates in General, Local, and Group chat. I agree. It's annoying. But, some people may not know that saying "___ needs a mate who interested" is advertising (People could always tell them.). I say this would help a bit, it could clear the chats up a bit.

^ True, I thought about that too honestly. That it might not be used. If not "Advertisement Chat" Call it "Group/Character Search"

I don't think it barly would be used by the ones not actually looking for peoples attention. It would more be seen as the place people spam.

It could work, and wouldn't hurt. But people would still spam the regular chats since they are "new and noobish". It wouldn't dissapear, maybe been cut down, but I'm not sure it would help.

I don't find the talk about rp, mates or other ad stoof that annoying in general. But we could use some more maps soon, and maybe a party function.

I still think it's worth a try. o3o

Also, maybe when the game first starts - like you log in for the first time, it has a pop-up tutorial or something?
