What's going on with Graal Messenger?

NovaNET · #1 02-25-2003, 10:02 AM

Well nothing at this point =/ I mean it works fully but i have ceased development but will continue development very soon. I have also decided to have Graal Messenger have a seperate account system and not even worry about getting it integrated with the mainstream graal account system.

Anyways I would really like to hear feedback on all ideas and suggestions you have for graal messenger as i know many of you have been flooding me with questions and such on aim.

Planned Features:
Graal Ticker - Scrolls news across top of main graal messenger client.
---
Graal Media Player - gonna make a built in media player.
---
Chat Rooms - users can open chatrooms some what like AIM.
---
Message Holding - If a buddy isnt on you can still send him a message as if he/her were and they will get a flashing indicator when they logon.
---
Online Status - PHP script you can implement in your site to inform friends your on graal messenger.
---
SysOps - To keep GIM as peaceful as possible there will be sysops who are staff which will enforce simple rules and also man the support chat room. Angel being one of the first sysops i plan to have a small team of sysops like 4 so we have somone on pretty much all the time.
---
GIM Buddy Icons, Skins, Smilies - GIM buddy icons, skins and smilies =) make skins for guilds and playerworlds

---
Message History - text based logging so you can look back and see past convos etc. can be disabled/enabled.
---
GIM Sounds - customizable GIM sounds for messages and such
---
GIM Profiles - make yourself a profile if you want so others can get better to know you.
---

Got any questions, suggestions, ideas, complaints?
:P Hit Me Up

I can volunteer(sp?) my help as sysop if you would like to.

draygin · #8 02-25-2003, 04:53 PM

Any sort of file transfer? Also can we have it so only people on our buddy list can see/message us? I really like that feature on aim. Also can you make the stuff like news ticker able to turn on and off. I would prefer not to have that active on mine if possible.

Add small multiplayer games such as checkers and tic tac toe.

Maybe make it so you can have it up and not have graal up? like it can connect to a server and you can be on and not be on graal? I like that.. sometimes I just like to talk and not be on..
so that it could replace aol instant messenger if you just want to talk to graal people..

alerts so that if someone gets on it alerts you!

warn! I love it..

away message..

buddy list! I know we have one..

Ratings like on forums! so everyplayer has a rating just like on forums and would work the same way

I like all of the ideas except ratings. Rating's are so stupid and pointless. Then people would be like: Oh no I pissed you off please dont hurt my score. Plus you would have your butt kissers trying to get it higher. It serves no purposes. Especially if you have a warning system. But the rest I like especially the away box. Ohh and invisible mode! Gotta love that.

Keep the great ideas and brainstorming coming =)

funnylinkwantsbomys · #14 02-26-2003, 01:03 AM

make it so graal gold people can be enabled to go into a special room

like you could look on the forums list and see if they are gold and then they get to go into the graal gold room or something XD

NovaNET · #15 02-26-2003, 01:28 AM
