Title: ONLINE tag for players
Post by: Jernau Gurgeh on May 19, 2009, 11:56:03 AM
The player rankings (and other screens) have usernames displayed, and next to them, an ONLINE tag that is either there or not.

This means that it is easy to know when to attack another player: wait until the ONLINE tag disappears.

The problem is, it is trivial to make it display all the time (for some players, it is).

What do you think, would it be better to not display the ONLINE tag at all anymore?

i think you'll find most of us that are online all the time actually are online all the time, or maybe its just me ?

maybe we should make it a rule that you have to log out if you ever do anything else.

anyways, no I do like having the online tag on. it helps me so that I can contact people, if I need an answer about something, I am going to message somebody that is online and not have to wait forever and hope that they get online soon to answer their mail...

I've always tried to take suggestions that aren't accepted by the majority and see what I can do to make it work. Otherwise known as a compromise.

Give gold members the option to log in as invisible.

Anyone else agree? (Oh, and if it is a matter of gold status, pay up the 20 bucks. You would pay more than that if the game was in stores.. Speaking of which, I've almost had my gold for a full year...time for a top up soon)

Yeah I gotta see if I can scrounge the money together to renew mine as well seeing as Titam has made some terrific strides in improving the game even if they were ill-timed ;)

Oh yeah, this round has impressed me much more than the last two, faction missions are really doing the work for the moment.   :13:
