I do remember a feature like this in a game i played in the past year it was chatbox auto reply's:
Gone out to eat
Be Right back
On the phone
There was a smarta$$ reply one as well from memory.
It was very handy. Even if they just add bubbles over the head that says AFK would be very useful.
Just implement the search features similar to FFXI. You could leave an away note that anyone could read, even if they were in a different zone.
I forget where i saw it but i remember reading that comment bubbles will be NPC only; They were referring to chat bubbles though and i'm assuming your just referring to a kind of viable AFK notice. In FFXI, People would get an automated msg when they send /tell to someone who is away; maybe that's another feature SE might want to think about adding.Hi there,,

I think this would be a cool idea...But you'll know when someone's away if they set their status to "AFK"
This feature was in XI and in 1.0...it would show an away icon next to their name and in the search feature. But the difference between them was that in XI if you tried to /tell the person it would auto reply with a system message that the player is afk, like mentioned already.
I like your idea though! I think that would be cool. It'd be like your character is a temporary NPC. Maybe if you had a bazaar open, you can set a message that when people would walk by you, they see the bubble message (maybe you're selling certain things while you're afk) and your character can be selling stuff for you while you go walk the dog or bring a friend somewhere! XD That'd be great. I'd like that.
Neat idea, but possible problems include lewd messages, like they do with their Name Surname >.>;;; or retainers.

Send a /tell and bring your happy pills~!
I think I remember seeing in one of the live letters for the Alpha.
That they had icons beside their names.
Might be worth checking out one of those old videos to see.
Thanks everyone for ur agreement .. i hope we can see GM reply about this matter
please update us if u find anything interesting

Agreed. As much as I'd love this feature, I'm going to have to vote "no" because of what the community will do with it. And the GMs can't all be bothered to deal with each individual message.
