[Eighty Swords]

Here's my suggestion on how it would let everyone get their way.

Option 1:
-If you turn the setting on you can see other people and they can see you.
-If you turn the setting off you can't see other people and they can't see you.

Option 2:
Add a timer on how often you can change this. Example: once every week or every 24 hours. This way you can't have the setting off for most of the time when you don't want people to know where you go and then turn it on for a short 10 minute time when you want to find people.

Option 3:
Setting is automatically on all the time for all reds and all guild players since these players have the risk of getting into a fight anywhere as it is.

Option 4:
A combination of the above.

I think that once again if the shard grows bigger it'll spam players with broadcast and I don't think they'll like it that much, at least not the ones that aren't ganking :/

Unfortunately my love we can't think this way. INX is a small shard for the time being and we have to add/tweak features as they suit us in our present state. If we ever get out of beta and grow to 100+ players (or whatever most people find is a 'large' shard) then we can revisit features like this or stealing as needed. There aren't more people coming to play this 10+ year old game. UO basically has what it has and people are only moving from one shard to another, not one game to UO. And as it is that doesn't happen very often. People are set in their ways.

Well, I'm all for any kind of tracking system. As long as it won't add new penalties for reds. I mean, it's ok if it reds won't be able to turn it off, but it shouldn't display that they entered/left pits to someone who didn't turn it on.
And also toggling should work on account, or even on IP. Cos if it will work on character very soon we'll see ppl with special characters that have it turned on and they will use these chars to track players, and then log on their main characters. But, if we could toggle it, then I'd rather having coordinate system, just as on xuo.

Similar topic btw, everything was discussed there already

that's why i suggest it, i mean it's not a big tracking system it just lets you know when people leave pits, If we people are too afraid to have a message saying "so and so has left the pits" i mean come on.. it's not like we can kill you in a blue town (it does not state what town you go to just that you have left the pits)

anyways i hope this gets approved =]

I agree with Gang-Bang, it should be an account wide setting if that's how this is implemented.

Smoke I thought it would say where you went, not where you left. Kinda useless knowing someone left pits. Yes its 1/4 places you can go to look for them (1/2 for reds) but by the time you recall to one spot they're probably gone. I think it would be cooler if it said what towns people entered, everytime they entered a town. Like if I leave the pits and go to Minoc everyone would see 'Eighty Swords has entered Minoc', if I recalled to Minoc from my house, everyone would see 'Eighty swords has entered Minoc'. And this would only apply for towns, not other places like dungeons etc. You could even have it so if you recall from one town to another it would say 'Eighty Swords has entered Minoc from Occlo'.

Just putting some more options out there.

I would like that 100% for sure lol, but i'm 100% people will complain about it, so yeah thats why i said just to leave pits. Also theres a 1/4 chance yes but whats the most common towns? occlo and britan and from brit you can check the bridge so really it's only 1/2 which isn't really that bad ^_^

naa, if it would always say which town u entering then I'm againest it Its even worse than coordinates. Imagine, you gank with friends in ocllo, then u have to recall, and bam everyone sees for example "Eighty Swords entered papua" , and everyone from ocllo recalls there. In your case its not that harmful since you're blue, but for reds it would suck. And you don't need to tell me something like "reds should have disadvantages" etc.. Cos I know it and I have em already. What I mean is - If this thing will be in place it will harm noone, but reds. And people will think twice before getting more than 4 kills after it
However, I'm all for coordinates on status page, since it updates just once in 1min, its all good. Also if i remember it correctly on XUO it didn't show ur location if u were hidden...

Imo they should add a combo, they should have the "when you leave pits only it announces it" and then they should add co-ordinates on the status page

Are you trying to turn more guilds into neutral? Its already a pain in the as being order and all ORDER and CHAOS guilds be able to kill you, or vice versa.
Have it automatically on all time sux.

but i don't understand why you hate it so much when you haven't even tryed it yet, also it will only say "you have left the pits" it won't say what town you have left..

The posts I saw here are trying to give it another path than just "you have left the pits".
I hate anything that give a clue where I'm.

Also if its just "you have left the pits" it not going to improve anything just Spam the screem even more.
I play on a shard that show a mensage everytime someone die (xxxx death cry bla bla bla) and its like 30/60 players on, and its already spam as hell.

it won't create so much spam because it only goes when you leave the pits, i dont think people will be dumb enough and waste there life to spam the shard every 8-10 seconds by entering and leaving pits.

Personally i think it will create some activity and so do some other people that have posted here

You sure? you bet your hand on it?
Always gonna have dumbass without life to do something like it.
But that not the point, even it hapening 5 time per minute its already sad to see those letters on the screen.

EDIT: Let anyone turn it On/Off and do whatever you want with it! ¬¬
