    Default Let us speak!!!

    It is about time we are allowed to have the words we are speaking to show over our heads in public areas and a toggle clickie to turn keymapping on and off to do so. More social interaction I think would do some good. The whole /tell thing is sometimes annoying. City places should be like giant chat rooms, and there should be allowance for those trusted to manipulate the speech of new random NPCs etc...a whole can of worms of bringing together the community in server events where you could start having some randomization or revisting of old quests with strange occurances within them...beyond mimics. Like sometimes running a haunted house kind of scenario where the devs play costumed roles within the dungeons as we all sign in for our turn in scheduled screenings.... groups one at a time ushered in. Or even teleported to the scene whenever it is their turn...

    The art and animations are all superb, you just need to breathe new life in them.

    Why not start inviting the developers a game in which they could also play? And invite others to play with them in special character slots customized to whatever role they are assigned for whatever the event entails?

    A good example of what kind of things I am talking about you will find in an old sandbox game called Ultima Online. You would do well to look into it, even though it is rather old as far as computer games go.

    Of course you would have to assign the arrow keys for movement if the toggle for keymap override is toggled on.

    No. We live/relax/recreate here.

    If we wanted bubbles (or overhead text, same as...) we'd be playing those Freakbook games like Farmdrudge & such.

    The word bubble idea is great! I think they should implement this as an option you can toggle on and off, so EVERYONE is happy.

    Sounds more like someone is insecure about what others are saying in tells and wants to see what is said around them.
