It has been tested but keep your eyes out for any wayward bugs. - Addition: Wizinvis immortals who are visible to your level or lower will now show with their name in parentheses when using channels and conferences. The bug with hearing a channel message twice when you cannot see the person using the channel should also be fixed. - Fixes: Small fix to whois. It now no longer works on NPCs. The automatic placement of "the warg" title on wargs has been removed in favor of the prefix title. So wargs can have their own title again. - Newbie Helpers! After some disagreement over a punishment, Fatale and Vial were sentenced community service. Specifically, they are now in charge of the Newbie Helpers group. This group will meet new players and aid them in learning how to mud, Legend etiquette etc. Their goal is to make newbies feel welcome to the mud, give them hints on how the game works, and generally give the mud a nicer atmosphere. If you are interested in joining the group, please mudmail Fatale and include your email address. They will be attempting to keep track of everyone and update through a mailing list. They would like any suggestions you have on what information to provide to newbies. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The LT Roving Reporter by Leila, LT Staff This week's Roving Reporter deals with the question of a RP channel. Giving a forum to those who use channels as a major form of RP, or taking the spam and clan threats out of chat? - From Chloride: I don't really think that the channel will really be used as it should be. I like chat as it is now, with OOC and RP together. - From Ulric: It would be good to use a RP channel to throw up ideas about your character's RP and maybe get others to join in on a mini plot. It could be used for planning RP as well as actual RP chat. I'd keep it on if there was a RP channel. I think it'd be good, overall and would most likely promote RP... if the channel is constant. We could use a fourth channel, especially if the auction channel becomes something dependent on a skill. It would be good if the immorts would help, so it wasn't just another chat channel. Like assisting the players, maybe throw up ideas, give others news about what's going on with other's RP so its not some closed thing. The channel could be used by the clans for challenges and such so it wouldn't spam the chat channel. Then the chat channel could be kept more OOC than it is. - From Valis: The conference isn't a good idea for RP, but a RP channel that could be toggled would be better. I'd use a RP channel but I think it would have to be encouraged and different from the conference channel. - From Major_Payne: There is no point for a RP channel, RP over chat is fine, OOC is for when you want RP off, not channels. I think it would become like most other channels, a conversation buster. - From Landy: I believe it's a great idea to set up a permanent RP channel. I think RP is great, and belongs for all to see, but once it begins to become incredibly spammy, it begins to get annoying. For instance, when the [names deleted to protect the innocent] fight on chat, it isn't one on one, its five people against five people, a lot of spam. RP channel is a good place to separate those not interested and those that can't afford the spam lag during fights. I like to talk about my snowboard, the weather and how bad my dinner is on chat, I don't wanna hear about snipers and RP. Chat is chat, it is pretty self explanatory. Chat doesn't mean RP it means CHAT, for players to mingle and socialize. But since there is no RP channel those involved must use chat as a global comm. channel. ________________________ / \ o O | Wonder what folks are | `\|||/ | doing over at LegendMud?| (o o) \________________________/ ooO_(_)_Ooo_____________________________________________________________________ _____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|__ __|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| THE LEGENDARY TIMES PERSONALS Leila, LT Staff House O'Flaherty is a family of Irish mages and druids who enjoy exploration, questing, and comraderie.
