Binomial Nomenclature and /tell /target commands

[RahJah]

Must we have two names? Aside from aesthetics, I don't see the function. Having only one name makes it faster to /tell, /target, etc. It is probably too late to change this now but...

Perhaps, they could reduce the text input requirements of the /tell and /target command.

so people won't get upset when the name Sephiroth is taken in their server.

If you want just an improper name, by all means I don't care anymore. But don't tell me I should not be allowed to have a proper name, period.

I like having First Name and Last Name in this game but they should to a tell by clicking on the character you wanna talk to as well. Such a pain...

Greetings,

Once again, sorry for the ogre bump. We understand that having two names can make sending /tells difficult at times. Therefore, when it comes to sending tells in A Realm Reborn, we are planning to have two different methods; typing out the player's name and a method that doesn't involve having to type their name. While things have yet to be finalized, we are looking into possibilities such as a feature where you can just click on the player's name in the chat log to send them a tell.

Once we hear some more concrete information we will be sure to pass it along.

Is there a possibility of having a expand chat hotkey? Like in FFXI you could fullscreen your chat for quick reads.

That would make reading city chat and trades so breezy in conjunction with the click to talk plan you guys got going on...

(Or maybe do you think its possible there would be a UI addon that could do that sort of hotkey... :P)

Either way good news, I love chat click options - life made a lot easier >.< lol.

Yes to this.

edit: I'll also include a feature to party invite, block list, and add to friend list from the chat log too.

Sounds like a great idea to me! but then my name won't act as unnecessary tell repellent....
