Toalls.

[cbk1994]

I'd rather see like an IRC-like thing implemented on all servers (added at Login?).

You could like be on the server's IRC, or go to a global IRC, or w/e.

I know people have scripted these; would be nice if something would be made globally though.

That thing Neener made (on UN)?

I don't know, haven't seen it. But a lot of people have made other ones. I know Zodiac had one (atleast for on server). Someone else made one for events mainly, but had an IRC. I've made one which I could I guess release some time.

Ah! the age old argument of replacing toalls with a chatroom-esque type feature. Graal is just a big graphical based chatroom already, but taking some of the old comments on the numerous times it was presented, apparently the cons outweigh the pros.

Pros
- Easier to talk to people and follow conversations.
- Ability to have different channels / rooms.
- Greater expandability.

Cons
- Replacing an old feature, which people still use and has a sense of uniqueness.
- Graal heading into more of a chat room direction than a game.
- Ability to click and read through messages on the move would be lost.
- More windows taking up the screen (although if it were optional, well, the players problem really).
- You can actually see on the mini map who is saying the toalls, assuming that the players are spread around. This could be tackled quite easily and implemented into a chat room feature, but it wouldn't have the same charm.

Personally I feel as though the chat room features on servers such as Unholy Nation and Zodiac pretty much flopped after a while and the fad faded fast. Staff were required to watch the areas as obviously they get out of hand once in a while and well, it didn't work. It's pretty easy and convenient to switch through toalls, I guess my idea was just to build on it a little and request a feature that has been asked for so many times because people do actually still toall. While there is this kind of feature on RC, it's sadly not on the client.
