This could be a terrible idea, but just a suggestion. (this may have already been suggested before. If it has, I apologize)

I am for the Global Chat, but why not make it a gold sink?

You have to spend X amount of gold for each post. Maybe even increase the X amount of gold for each additional post. For example

1 message- 100 Gold
2 messages- 1,000 Gold
2 messages- 10,000 Gold
etc.

Just substitute the actual numbers in. This would reset at Midnight server time. Just a thought. I think the more gold sinks the better. This could also be used for the FSBox and Shoutbox. Instead of using FSPs you could use gold. Perhaps 180K gold. This would encourage people to spend Gold instead of FSPs. Thus, result in a gold sink.

Thoughts, Suggestions?

Not to burn your idea completely to the ground, but I think the Global Chat should be a mechanism that helps guiding the newcomers, not to scare them away due to they can't afford to ask ^^

In that case, Perhaps make it scaled to level? Kind of like PvP. Where its +/- 25 Levels for players under 100, +/- 50 levels for 100-500.

So it could be free for players under level 25
Then an increase of .5 for each additional message for players 25-200
Then an increase of 1 for each additional message for players 201-400
etc.


I'm just throwing out ideas here. If these get completely shot down, then oh well. Personally, I think this could be a good use for a gold sink, but if the majority disagrees. Then I am okay with that.

Guys for one time please embrace a change without throwing a thousand ideas at it. it's a simple little chat room that will allow new players to ask questions and maybe even bring new players into the game.

Everything else in this game costs gold or fsp, let's at least be able to chat without spending gold or fsp :roll:

[hbklives]

Any updates?

[dogness]

i love this idea.. maybe a new tab to open the chat page or just make like a new window pop up..

dont know if anyone has suggested it yet or not but im not reading ten pages of good ideas =p..

but like they say.. anything is better than nothing

[kisoku]

I like this idea, I think that any advertising of revnue or anything of that such shouldnt be allowed on it. Just for the soul purpose of FS Shout. Selling items etc on the Chat should be and offence just because its made for chatting not for ""Free Advertising""


:idea:

1 - Need to be free.
2 - Need a 'report message' button.
3 - Need to open in a new tab, no one spend the time on World Map, with that you don't need to create a '[ ] Enable World Chat' on preferences.
4 - Need to be impossible to post links, if someone want to post a YouTube link, send directly to the player who want it.


That can help to improve the 'Karma' thing, new players can find Tutors easily (when Karma finally activates).

It could be interesting to have a chat room under the map. But make sure you have the option to deactivate it under preferences, so it doesn't interfere with hunting.

World of Warcraft has chat {eg; world chat.trade chat, RPG chat, "city" chat & custom chat}
The cows are offering us chat.... I am sure that they will include options to use it or not & if you choose to use it, options of who or how you chat with.
Why don't we let them TRY IT 1st.... if it doesn't work...... then no big deal. Sheesh

It's been six months now, people are getting restless. I'm at the point where I don't expect to see this get implemented, what with seasonal content being worked on and this pushed even farther to the back burner.

:cry:

[yotwehc]

It's not on the accepted ideas/fixed list so you should definitely lower your expectations

[Removed4427]

first thing i always ask is:

how much more would this slow down the performance of the game?

lag

[mitgsx]

Can't we just lose some active players to make up for the increased lag?

[Filletminion]

I play another game with this feature ,from what I see it results in a lot of trolling and winding up players to be "muted" so they cannot use the chat....Some people really do have no lives.

[Removed94]

We're going to look at implementing the chat on a separate page (within the game), with an option to display it below the world as well (we would default this to be on for new players as well).

I'm not sure of an ETA for it, for I would think we could have a beta version of it up within the next few weeks

Any chance of a bovine comment on this? Just an "it's still being developed" or "not gonna happen" would be nice...preferably not the latter :wink:

Obviously not expecting much work to be done on this during this time of year.

[RebornJedi]

let's connect the community!!

[gomezkilla]

A chat like this would just be too chaotic. Spamming and whatnot.

[RebornJedi]

assumptions hinder experimentation..

[yotwehc]

What's that function a lot of chat clients have? Ignore?
