New Chatroom Requests and Suggestions

I'm going to be making a new chat room as part of the quests system (AKA the storyteller system, which I've been going on about for years). Essentially, this system will require a lobby of sorts, for people to meet in order to jump into stories together. So I figured why not marry this lobby system up with a much-needed new chatroom and tackle both at once?

So if you have requests on what you'd like to see in a new chatroom, nows the time to mention it.

I'll be working on this side-by-side with working on mastery powers and chapter updates, so this will start getting made very soon. The storyteller system is something that will breathe new life and new blood into Path, so this is going to be a priority.

I think some players would be more willing to sit around and wait for others to join if there was an *optional* pop up alert possible. With a noise option, too.

Sounds very easy with the tool I'm using. :)

Can you make it so we can 'adjust' the colours? Sometimes my eyes cross with the white text on black. :|

I would personally love different skin options, but I don't know how plausible that would be. Definitely having a darker background option would make it more appealing to certain players (like me).

Also a way to access location based chats without actually being in the area would be really cool for a few reasons:

1) Newbies can't get into private lairs.
2) Sometimes people run out of energy and can't be summoned
3) People who have attacked or been attacked can't enter private abodes.

I think it'd be easier to just make a list of location chats available from a main home chat screen (or something).

Plus I think it would be an easier transition for people who are used to play-by-chat roleplay.

And that's all I have so far. >.>;;

This please.

In addition to the adjustable colors.. adjustable text. I am old and have bad eyes.. I would like to be able to make the text bigger, please.

The only other thing that I think might be nice, is an idle timer? So someone popping in, can see if someone has been idle for a few minutes.. or for hours?

I have been in the chatroom, had to step away to do laundry.. answer a call or some such.. find out someone entered, and left before I could speak. When I did IRC.. I used that feature a lot.

This is me in spades! I use the 'magnify' on my browser for almost all path/blood pages so I can deal 80% of the time but DANG it would sure be grand to have Docs idea added! Not just for us old farts, either. :P lol ;)

  • I would like to see a 'Crownet' styled IC section where any of the races can post
  • a button to copy and export all text
  • include more expressive emoticons or customizable .gif
