(:s13:)(:s3:)Hey all, just a thought as this worked really well when I played evony.

You have a space on screen like the hint box(as well as keeping forums) for "chat/mssging" live. It is broken into 3 cats as such:

Beginners chat (all those still under some form of newbee protection)
Alliance/order/vassel chat - so only those in the order etc can see (and opens up the game for realtime support and espionage)
World Chat - opened for all other than beginners where you can cause grief and have some light hearted banter

Just a thought which would enhance this game to another level and place real value on being order members and the like.

And, I am a KIWI... so no sheep shagging jokes all you (:s13:)Aussies out there (:s3:)

which you have to pay for...

Maybe there should be a chat for ppl with newbie/silver/gold subscriptions to encourage the devs to add one

I never payed anything and still had one, I really have no idea what you are talking about.

My English knowledge has limits, I am not a native speaker, but does this sentence even make sense? I don't get it. (:s14:) (:s32:)

I mean that you need gold to fund an order; so most orders make you pay gold to join. So technically you're paying partly for a chatbox.

I mean, maybe a world chat should be created for the people that use newbie, silver, and gold subscriptions. This could encourage the developers to include the worldchat in the game. Or you could make people pay 5 gold for every 100 words typed in the chatbox

It was a live chatbox.... I havent seen one on here so if you can point it out that would be good.... a real time one, not a "u-post mssg and u-reply" type one.

cheers

Join an order and you get one, it's only for the order members though.

That's technically true, but in reality not all orders charge (:gold:). (:s15:)

In my opinion, that's just ridiculous. (:s8:) (:s6:) I would never write anything in such a chat. (:s16:)

That's not logic at all. And even if it was, a world chat would ...

I suppose it would depend on the servers themselves. 18million + people playing evony and it worked fine (:s1:)

there was 170ish servers when I stopped playing

For the "Order" chat you are talking about we had something called "evoalliance" which was only open to the leadership team of the alliance not all members, where diplomacy and co-ordinated attacks could be worked on.

Was just a thought all, surely if we could enhance the game so that it is truely a world leader then that would benefit us all? I do like not having to farm for food as in evony age 1, this took over the game and everyone lost site of the fact that it was after all a wargame ;-)

Depends on how they are coded. In all honesty, there shouldn't be a "world chat". But links to actual "Help Pages". and encouragement to 'Use the forums'.

In game chat.....

This is something that this server (Aragon) needs badly... it would greatly help with game play. Weather starting or solving conflicts, or just saying hi to in game friends. It would greatly enhance the game play.

Humans being human (some) would naturaly compete to be top dog. This would lead to rivalry and in turn encourage people to invest in the game. And lets face it, you're always looking for and you'd never turn down money being invested/donated by players, to help pay runnung costs of the game of course(:s10:). So anything that increases this is a good thing?

I play 2 other MMORPG's and they both have in game chat, it makes them games what they are.

Thanks Cucullhan... I am the same but like this games base mechanics so you dont spend hours just feeding troops but actually get involved in the game itself.

"chat" is such an acceptable medium now and almost expected with these games. How else do you communicate with other players on a large scale?

PS did I know you from another MMORPG? I always keep the same name ;-)

same name too.... and a couple of others

Fine, lets all get together and try to explain the workings of the "chat system" and YOU try to get all the info together, into a form where it would convince a dev. that adding it would be missused, and would benefit everyone (that uses it)

Also: Where would this chat be placed? Think of every possible thing that would help the devs get a better picture of it.

Thanks for the opportunity.... I will do this in a couple of stages

1 - Order chat - Only order memebers can access this

2 - Order Leader Chat - Alliances have to nominate thier leaders and only the leaders get to communicate in this forum

3 - World Chat - free for all, ribbing included, but also moderated by the moderators (geez that sounded wuzzie)

4 - Beginners Chat - and probabbly the most important moving forward... if this game is to progress it needs to attract more players and sponsers. The better com system you have at the front end the more reward there is in total numbers joining. The higher the numbers joining the better chance of gaining commercial sponsers.....

Anyhow.. will write it up and send through, where do I send it to? this forum or another address?

maybe a valley chat too, to add to grumpy's list, would that be easier to implament?
