Yes, basically. I have the people I play with on my friends list. It shows them by account name. I can send /tells to them and it will send it to whatever character that are logged in as.

I hope they do an authenticator. I don't like the idea that others can see my account name. There might be a way around this, but I haven't stumbled on it.

I sort of like this. I could think of a lot of problems on P99 with scamming and rudeness being diverted if characters connected back to an account/forum name.

I probably shouldn't be so quick to judge, but I totally am... this sounds awful. So you can talk to the other team in tells only if you've met one of them previously playing on your team?

And sending tells via account name, jeez. Way to kill roleplay, Bethesda.

I really don't know if that's accurate. It would take some testing...

That said, if you don't know them IRL or have previously met them, how would you expect to send them a tell in the first place? As in, how would you see the scenario play out in which you can't do what you'd want to do?

As in you kill someone from the other team in PVP and you want to taunt them afterward? I support it, but not sure if it can be done. I'll test it this afternoon if I have time to pop on.

Taunting during/after PvP is of course an important aspect of any MMO, but communication with bad guys doesn't have to be limited to simply that. If I start attacking someone and they're like, "Hey, wait! I don't wanna fight, let's just talk this out," I'll totally stop at least for a bit to see what they have to say.

And as anyone who played EQ pvp knows, some of the best relationships made in game resulted in frenemies: delightful people you murdered as like a friendly rivalry sort of thing, that you enjoyed chatting with.

Plus omg the RP. How are you gonna RP without being able to communicate with people? On live I liked to do light roleplay as a murderous elf, and if a dwarf was like, "Why'd you kill me? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]" I'd give some ridiculous spiel about global warming. It was tons of fun when they played along.

Who RP's? Seriously...go outside

I haven't been keeping up with it, but what are they doing about PvP? Dedicated servers for it?

It's more like DAOC -- Dedicated areas with objectives and opportunities for world pvp depending on your faction and what zone you find yourself in at what time.

It's not a bad idea, it'll mean that a name isn't "taken" once one person uses it?

Legolas for one? Legolas for all!
