Title: AFK Feature?
Post by: Meiari 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.

Doesn't seem like a need, as you could post Brb/Afk, but yes, it could be pushed off the chat. But what about whispers? If your in Ficho and a friend is in Flourite and you make a Afk/Brb pose or thing above your name tag, what would happen with the whispers? Would your name be: '(AFK)Smokey' when you whisper someone?

Remember what you have in chat rooms? So yes, theres normaly an afk button, and if you just say 'brb', the person who you might be talking to would be brb, once they come back on... your brb. So there should be an option for that. ^^

AFK feature wins. I leave for 5 seconds and people have whispered a ">.<" to me because I didn't answer them. It should somehow be tied into whisper mode as well, it needs to tell whoever is whispering you that you are gone, not just people that are in your sight.

Just posing AFK or BRB or BBL in chat doesn't work for many reasons.
1. More posts = it's gone up in chat, where no one will see it
2. People in other maps won't be able to hear it, and you don't have time to whisper everyone you know, saying "AFK"
3. Whoever you said "AFK" to, could've gotten back from an unsaid AFK themselves, therefor, not see it.

i think a afk feature is a great idea because i would be advertising my group in gen chat until i have to go downstairs and get some water or something but when i come back i'd be surrounded by many angry people 0_0. also when my members are waiting for me to rp they would leave my group for another because my message saying brb or afk would be bumped up into the chat dialog in less than a second :/

I think it should have AFK/BRB above your name tag so people who use AFK instead of BRB will know that you are not there or the other way around...I think there should be an action that only happens when you are on AFK and i like all the other ideas too.
