Ok .. here is my idea about the annoying situation of LAG and SPAM when you are in a trade City like PA ( Port Atlantis )

TERMINALS AND DISPLAY SYSTEM

There should be implemented 10-15 terminals where you can have access and write your Sell/Buy offers and your location. example : "Sell : Nemesis Parts (m) , GSI ... Buy : Ores/Matters , Sweat @ Radar"

Now.... this message will appear in 3-4 big Display in the Citys for let's say 5 sec. They should be numbered so you know how many are out there selling/buying. In less than 1 -2 min you will be able to see all the messages and everyone will have the same time on the Display.

When you go away by TPing or in a radius bigger than 500 m your message will be automatically deleted from the list. ;)

Benefits
- Less Spaming the All Chat
- Equal chance to all traders for adv
- Less Lag


Plz Tell me your opinions ... Hope MA is reads this ! :D

Remember, there'd need to be a charge for this, so people would still spam in main chat.

Plus it's likely to be abused, so I'd say no, this is not a valid solution. Enforcing an automatic 2 week ban on any avatar typing more than 50% uppercase, now that's a solution!!
 
I like the intent, but I wonder about the implementation.

I think it would be a significant development effort to get it into the game and so would have little chance of ever being done. Something simpler may have a better chance.

One more modest approach in terms of software development effort would be this:

1) Change the "All" chat channel to "Local".
2) Add a chat channel for "Business"
3) Change the selection mechanism from only one channel or all to check boxes to select the ones to be viewed. Then you could view, for example, Local and Soc, or Team and Soc, or Local and Business, or Local and Business, Local and Team and Soc, etc. In addition to that, you'd need a selector for the chat channel that your input would go to.

I believe these would easily implemented because all the machinery for chat is already in place. Only an additional chat type gets defined and minor changes in the logic to select what is viewed get made. It would also serve to move the business chat out into another area and to allow better selection of what you get to see.

It could be abused, of course, but it would then be no different that it is today, and it could be done for a minimal investment on the part of MA.

Just a thought...

goldpython, make a separate thread from that. Your suggestion is a good one. I guess the current double-"v" should be still there to reset all chats
visible.
 
trade chat channel like all other mmos have would work better since ma wouldnt have to spend as much time developing it
 
Well , i was too enthusiastical about the idea.

You are all right i suppose. :cool:
 
well it IS still a nice idea when ma makes things for pe a bit faster than they are now:)
but there are some things that could be bad with the system like if people can type free text there is nothing that prevents them from spamming it with crap like "me loves xxxxxx so much" "HAHAHA im gawd" and things like that S:
my guess is that trade would still be spammed even with this system tho especialy if there was a fee to use the system, some dont get that people dont want to buy their stuff and have to use every second to "remind" people they are selling sweat for 1pec a bottle :p atleast if there was a trade channel people could report em for spamming normal channel with trades and just refer people to the channel (Like on irc :))

but i think your idea mostly fit premium sellers that needs to market high end stuff and that are willing to pay a fee of say 5-10 ped to reach a broader market
 
h3h your idea is nice, leviathanikos, but it necesitates lots of programming and lots of time :D that MA doesn't obviously have lol :wise: :deal:
 
there was a idea posted about a trade window (think it was me, but not sure) where u can type in what u selling and where u are. Then if anybody wanna buy something they can just load that screen while in the city and go to you.
