Is text chat what we really should focus on? I really think we should have it, but what about vocal chat? Nowadays thats the main source of communication in every game I play. The different "modes" thats mentioned can still be used to determined how far the voice could be heard. Just an idea. Further on we could even create effects that manipulates the voice so you sound orcish or whatever I agree with Alexander that some chat seem unrealistic if not explained (all guilds have a guild-communication-spell or something) on the other hand people will chat with other tools if we dont provide them. I would anyway. What do you think?

QUOTE(Alexander @ May 8 2007, 03:06 PM) External tools shut be forbidden if possible. If a GM notices players chatting by other means he shut kill their character and ban them for a week! At the very least! I don’t want to cheaters and I don’t want no out-of-game thinkers. Its an RPG so get into it or don’t play it.
I'm gonna say first and for all that I hope you're being sarcastic because this is NEVER going to work. There's no way you can prevent people from using voicechat, from talking to each other at a LAN, or even inside their own homes. It's impossible, and I strongly disagree that people should be punished for it. The game is for everyone, and so it should be accessible to everyone. There should not be added restrictions and punishments to force the game to conform to one's own individual desires, which is why I believe the freedom to actively play in any manner the player so chooses should be paramount in this game. I agree that players should have the opportunity to eves drop, but I also agree that there should be secure lines of communication at times, otherwise players will just IM each other out of game or bypass the system another way. I think voicechat was discussed earlier and was generally agreed upon that for the present, would be left to external programs rather than be implemented directly into PW. I am definitely in favor of language barriers, and the ability to learn another language and bit-by-bit, piece together meaning from gibberish.

QUOTE(RicoSuave @ May 8 2007, 04:24 PM) Exudos, there is already a topic made for that. You, Alex, and zicyo need to read as much as you guys can. You are repeating old information and arguing points that have been talked about ad nauseum.
If you're just trying to get a post count up or something, that's fine. We can make a spam thread for your heart's desire.
However, if you are serious about trying to help the project. Please go back and read the previous threads that speak of your ideas, then add to them. I'm the fourth one in the forums so far in the past week to state that you really should go back and read. It's not because we don't want to read your posts... on the contrary. We encourage as much open conversation and cross-communication that we can. We just want you to be able to speak intelligently about old topics. Just trying to help you guys out. Really! Take care and have fun reading.
A: I have seen no obvious topics about the way you will chat. B: I was trying to get the thread back on the way it was supposed to go, and seeing as I couldn't find A, I started a new one. C: This is the first time anyone has told me to go back and read, because I have. D: This is NOT where you should be telling me to go back and read, PM me about that kinda stuff. E: Bringing up old topics is GOOD, new members join EVERY DAY, and perhaps they have not gone back and read, and would enjoy a good conversation on these old topics, maybe they will even come up with something that has not yet been mentioned. Once again, the thread I put up is still there for what it is described to be. Sorry for disturbing this thread yet again. :l

You have to dig some. The topics aren't obvious, but they exist. Go read the old threads, or air your ideas on irc first, before you make a new thread.

Please don't take offense. As you can read from his post, it was directed at more people than just you. ALL of you, go back and read the old topics. Now. Before you make new threads. Pandra and Jerky have posted links to some of the old threads in other topics. For those of you who don't take hints, posting links to old threads in reply to new ones is a hint that you should read old threads before posting new ones. QUOTE E: Bringing up old topics is GOOD, new members join EVERY DAY, and perhaps they have not gone back and read, and would enjoy a good conversation on these old topics, maybe they will even come up with something that has not yet been mentioned.
Revisiting old topics is good, creating new threads on old topics is bad. Big difference. Recycling prevents pollution. Pollution is bad.
