online-status application

Post by kendo »

I'm not sure what it was called. but for some game awhile back, maybe diablo or starcraft, there was an app you could run on youre desktop that was basically on out-of-game locate. It was a small box with friends on it and when a person was online the circle by their name would turn green. Not sure of the feasability in regards to underlight but it was a very simple program, would be helpful for watching for teachers etc.

This looks too easy to abuse and difficult to police. Instead, what I would suggest is login....press locate. Locate all with your locate list being full of people you want to find.

There's already enough of a challenge with SMS and IRC where players rally up the troops in an OOC manner to deal with something IC, from my observations. I dislike the idea of more blurring of the IC/OOC lines.

the mix of ic/ooc has been an issue for all 16 years... it has been seriously abused in the past sadly... a longer locate list would be the best suggestion.

Longer locate list very much seconded! It would make it worthwhile to plateau the skill, too, which is always fun.

+1 name per plateau?

Dunno if that would make much of a difference. How much is enough to make plateauing it worth while?

The things I'd do for one additional name are quite disturbing!

Having just filled.my locate dreamer list, we NEED to expand it. +1 per plateau should be for consideration. Someone get their RP experiments going!

longer locate list +1 per plat. i support this. seems good just make the scrollbar scroll longer down the list on the interface box. id reserve the extra ones for the darkmares and oddball dreamers like Silk Nuvas, but thats just my 2 cents. its hard to RP this art since it seems a slightly ooc type of an art to me, but +1 internet to whoever does get it started!

It's very OOC until they tie it to a single character.

This is why everyone has eachother on FB, Yahoo, IRC, Battlenet, and etc. You tell your friends when you are going in, but as a secret!
