I would like the players to have more options in the chat window. At the moment, they have basically two: Either normal type, as the player or character name, or the /emote command, which can also be done as the character but most players tend to forget and their /emotes are as the player name, not the character. And that's it. We need more options, and I suggest these as some ideas: 1) /emas for players. To make it easier to remember to be in character. Would also be usable in macros, so the player doesn't have to remember to go down and switch the 'As' function every couple sentences! Could also allow those playing multiple characters at once to more easily distinguish who they are. 2) A version of /description for characters. Similar to the above in function, but with a distinct style. The standard text gets cluttered, and too much pink from emotes gets ugly. Give them a third option for specific, intense actions that are supposed to stand out from the rest; something that looks different enough to catch notice but not so flashy as to distract. 3} Bold , italicized , and other types of text. Again, to spice things up a bit. I sometimes want to be able to highlight parts of my macros, both as a GM and as a player, but unless I'm missing something there's no way to include this sort of function in a chat message. 4) As mentioned in another thread, the ability to whisper to the GM things that THEY THEMSELVES cannot hear... for example, let them make a stealth roll in such a way that only the GM can see the results of the roll. Sure, the GM can make that roll in secret, but you know as well as I do that the GM has enough to do already. Let the players handle this part of it. Besides, they love rolling their own dice, no matter how little difference it makes in the outcome. 5) Probably lots of other things I'll think of as soon as I hit 'Post Topic". -Phnord
