Discussion: Yellow Text

[Guybrush]

I don't like the idea of yellow announcements when someone dies at all, it cheapens the world.
Imagine walking through a dark forest, all is quiet. You see a lump on the path ahead and cautiously move forward to investigate - Oh god it's a CORPSE!
You check the timer and find that the unlucky adventurer died 4 minutes ago. You do a quick /who - there are 5 people in zone. Is one of them the killer? Or did a wild animal get him? Suddenly your hair stands on end - Did you hear footsteps? You turn to head back to the zoneline anOHGODHESBEHINDYOU

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT

Maybe I'm just a weirdo

makes 2 of us although I like yellow text idea of announcing bigger battles happening. Anything to inform us of something bigger brewing that we can be a part of.

How about if two guilds /guildwar eachother, yellow text can be enabled.

Imagine if you stopped roleplaying and a giant ogre in multicolored armor with a skeleton pal harm touched ur fucking face and a yellow text broadcast from the Sleeper (or some other lore bullshit) announced your untimely demise

The sleeper is far too busy sleeping to make announcements about people being murdered. Did you even TRY to make a plausible Roleplay scenario???

I voted for zonewide, however. It makes the most sense.

[Extunarian]

I voted no at first but I would be all for the guildwar/big battle YT. If the population is decent I'm just not gonna give a crap about random guy 1 killing random guy 2.

[Vile]

How about if over X, let's say 6 for now -- a full group, of guild A & B are in 1 zone it enables the YT?

[juicedsixfo]

That seems like it could get complicated, but who knows. I'm against yellow text for a handful of reasons, but I would support a mass /guildwar enabling yellow text. Maybe just up the duration of /guildwar to a week instead of a day.


I heard the guildwar command acts funny on Emu servers, but it ~seems~ possible to make a command for announcing kills through it.
