Any ETA on SOE Chat functionality?

OK -- I've been out of the loop for about a week, and in the intervening time it looks like this thread has gotten turned into the "yay walrus" and "let's discuss random aspects of the patch" thread. I realize I ain't the boss of anybody,...

Petition for a non-hacker server

Wow. You can't be serious. Look, normally I'm not one to call people out on forums (an old adage about winning the special olympics comes to mind) but I'll make an exception in this case. A) This is a public forum for discussion. Don't bel...

Any ETA on SOE Chat functionality?

Just in case there's any confusion here, Jabber is an open protocol, and isn't in any way "part" of Trillian. Trillian has a plugin that's able to talk the Jabber protocol, but there's plenty of other (FREE) clients you can choose from, wh...

Seriously. Copy-and-pasting that long of a post into 3 different places on the forums is a little ridiculous. But my gripes about forum etiquette aside... I think the kind of class you're talking about would be a very cool feature. I don't...

Any ETA on SOE Chat functionality?

I had never heard that there was a Jabber->SOE gateway out there... if that's the case, then AWESOME. That might solve a lot of my gripes arising from the removal of AIM. (Jabber > AIM anywayz :robottongue: )

New coding and a hidden change

I think ArchxAngel makes an excellent argument. I'm just now getting high-enough level that I'm having to deal with the red-frag hunting and I see how this can become a major pain. And WyPhy, everything consumable I've written since the pa...

Chatting with players in other SOE games.

Chatting with players in other SOE games.

As far as I know, it's because they haven't put the inter-SOE chat into the game yet. One of the first patches SOE released for MxO had something in the patch notes along the lines of "We're replacing AIM chat in-game with SOE chat. Only w...

I've been getting this sort of behavior all the time with normal mobs, ever since I started the game (about a month ago). I think the game has some sort of fallback mechanism to keep you from ganking NPCs that're stuck in a wall or somethi...

Yeah, I CCR'd this about a week back as well. Got the usual "it doesn't need a GM, so I'm forwarding it to QA and they don't email you back, so don't wait up" message. Good to see they jumped on it right away. :robotmad:
