Discussion: Yellow Text

[lethdar]

The last few boxes I haven't played characters that get yellow text anyway, Cleric, Bard, etc, and this box I'm planning on doing an enchanter. I doubt the lack of yellow text really hurt my reputation. What I am concerned about is finding pvp on a server with no zone whoing and no global ooc / yellow text. A good compromise would be something like a server message "It begins to rain blood in Neriak A" etc when some trigger has been satisfied (5 deaths in 5 minutes? I don't know).

This would help promote mass pvp in out of the way locations, as no one is really going to be checking out of the way zones when if the server knew there were 3 TDT/TZT/whatever camping GBS or quillmane it could quickly escalate into a huge brawl.

I would hope it would be smaller then that to alert of pvp going on

if a trio or group gets into it with another duo or trio you have 2-3 people dying (or running) not 5+
imo, thats more noteworthy then a duo/solo killing another solo or someone running by on a CR

2+ is meh, might not be anything there by the time someone runs out. prolly = alot of false alarms.
3+ within 5mins should be sufficient enough to signal pvp happening in whatever zone
(i hope the zone is included in YT)

There will always be YT in whatever auction zone there is for "liveliness"
and anyone lookin for pvp can discredit those broadcasts and join the ones worth investigating

I wouldn't want to see the msg every time 2 or 3 people died, this is a pvp server and that should be happening very often. I'm looking for some real pvp battles if it's going to be a serverwide message. It should happen between 3 and 6 times every day so people know stuff is going down and not a few people just messing around as they prepare to leave a zone.

I just want to clarify my last point because it wasn't very clear (I type gud lolz)

I don't want to see a serverwide message happen often when 2 duos are messing around, then after the battle they all leave. If there's going to be a serverwide message I want to know that there's going to be at least a group or 2 of people stilll fighting when me and my group are showing up.
