Easy way to track visitors: Have butler list visitors, packages and messages in chat instead of local chat

I like to have a record of who visited me so I can return the favor. When there are several people that is easy because the butler sends me a chat message that I can easily check any time. When it's only a couple people though it just goes into my local chat and is lost in all the action noise. The same goes for messages and packages which is arguably more important to have a record of so you can say thank you.

Could things be tweaked just slightly so that all street interactions go to the butler chat instead of local chat so that records aren't so easily lost?

  • Yes, I like it when there are so many visitors, the list gets sent to local chat and then I have a permanent record - because I like to visit and bestow...

  • This is a really good idea.  And it gives some consistency with the way the butler communicates with players.

  • I'm confused. Wouldn't it be better if everything was in local chat?

  • I don't think so pascale, the whole problem is what goes into local chat gets lost if you don't access it right away. If you visit one street and interact everything is lost in all the actions. If it goes into butler chat then it's there the next time you want to look at it, no actions crowd it out.

  • Hm. Still confused. If it's only in the butler's IM window, and I close the window, it's not there the next time, so I don't see how that preserves it better.

    Maybe I'm missing something.

  • Pascale, if I close my butler's IM window and reopen it later the messages are still there, so maybe this works differently on different platforms?

  • Perhaps you're clearing your cache or using private browsing, Pascale? Because if I'm using the same browser with none of the above factors the list is there, albeit greyed out, when the chat window opens again. Hence, perfect way to keep track :)

  • I think it would be nice if the butler just kept a permanent list if everyone who has visited so you can check back at any time....
