Other options for the '/' command

First idea post! *pats self on back*

Ahem. . .where was I?

Ah yes! Idea post!

Is it possible to create commands linked to everyone's home street, such as /home kepi, or /kepi home or /kepi tower, etc? At the moment I have to go to my drop down screen, select Friends, then go type in someone's name, go to their home page, click visit home street, then at the bottom of that page click again visit street. . . gah! All I wanna do is go to their street! I often wonder if the Bureaucratic Lizards are in control of ingame visitations. . .much too complicated.

And yes I know the other option is to 'simply click Kepi on my friend's list' - HOWEVER, what if Kepi of offline and I want to go to his street to help him get some good ol' iMG? Then it doesn't work so well. What if there's some player I don't even know who says on Global, "Selling Rook, 50c. Oops, sorry. Meant to say 500c."? I want to get to there lightning quick to 'help' them realize a profit on their Rook (sucker!) If I have to go through the aforementioned process, I'll be the laughing stock of all Ur when I arrive 10 minutes after the cute little Rookie cubie sold! Laughing stock of Ur!

Soooo, please. Please pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease. Puh-leeeeez make it easier for us Glitches to make street visits happen, especially non-friend streets and doubly especially since now we have friend limits and we can't just add people willy-nilly.

Thank you,
Gordon

  • Perhaps I am missing something (wouldn't be the first time), but when I left click on someone's name in chat, I get the option to visit their street.

    But the other part, about somehow making it easier to visit the streets or towers of someone who's not online, that's a good idea.

  • You probably have way more  friends than me, but you can click on the grayed out "offline contacts" to get a list of your friends that are offline (it's at the bottom of the list of online friends).  If you click on one of them, you do get a visit home street option.  But it would be more convenient if you know the right spelling to be able to type it all into chat with a / rather than all those clicks and scrolling.  And the friends list option doesn't work for those that are just acquaintances and not friends yet, so it would be nice to have another option.

  • I'd like to be able to go to a specific floor in my own house and tower --
    e.g., /house 2 and /tower 3 to go directly to the given floor

  • Adding:

    /afk  or /away [message] (will auto-reply the message to whomever sends an IM)

  • /(player name) opens that player's in game info box.

  • @Awesome: even if you aren't friends with them or they aren't online? Example: on the forums so-and-so is selling something and you want to buy it right away. Is there a quick way to visit their street if they're offline?

    Thanks for the feedback all. I appreciate it.

    What I was getting at was a universal way to go to people's streets/towers that aren't condition based (e.g., online, friend, IM chat, etc)

    With the limitation on friends now, a quick and dirty way to goto areas would be nice.

  • @Hellyeah -- hitting "4" will put you AFK, but I would love to be able to leave an away message too.
