Cell Phone APP

[Hyperon]

WoW did it right. Its a game that makes Billions and I haven't read anything yet about the auths being caught. FFXI wont have the hacking power against them as they would WoW. So if the large majority of WoW players are safe, then I am sure we would be just fine with the same kind of auth.

I mean my WoW account has not been used in 2 years and I have been hacked twice. My inactive account for 3 years has been hacked twice in 1 year. One of the times it was used to do gold buying/selling shouts in a place in the scale of port jueno of importance (to current game importance I mean). got banned, contacted me, I called them and laughed because I said I haven't played in 2 years. Then 3 months later my account was hacked again and the person sold my account off to someone. I called them up, told them what happened, and then I got my account back and they told me to use the auth. Since then my account has been just fine. I don't play WoW. I haven't paid for it in 3 years. But with what their auth does, you cant ignore that kind of service. Plus it was free, and it takes just one phone call to get your account back to where it was if it was hacked without having the auth and everything is put back to normal to where you had it last. You cant beat/fight that kind of service.

I'm more interested in the social aspects of the advantages this app would give us. The idea came from when I had to quit the game for a while because I lost my job and couldn't pay for the game and I was the leader of a linkshell, so I looked for ways to contact them but it was barely any good. The social networks weren't enough. Somewhere along that time I just got the smart phone android which had recently came out and I searched for a "ffxi linkshell app" and I actually found one but it turned out to be a big let down because it was useless and defective.

If I were a tech nerd or a programmer or had the remote idea on how to make apps I would work hard to create one that serves this purpose. Friend lists, email messaging, and status updates would only be bonuses to this app IMO and messaging would be more of my interests. Why not just use one of the existing messengers? Because you can't expect your friends to always be online chatting through messengers AND not everyone prefers the same messenger program and in the same chat session. This could maybe be another extension to the existing Linkshell Community SE has created. Being able to switch through all your LSs and chat with them in real time even if you're not logged in game, there is a lot of possibilities with only that one function.

Of course this should be implemented in FFXIV as well...

I know some time back there was a project with chatting in Jeuno via someone's mule. All the shouts and say got posted on a website and you could type things in to have the mule say in shout. It would be pretty neat if we could have a cell phone app that lets you interact with a populated area in shout if you have a character. I guess it would be too easily abused but it would be great fun... even if we couldn't interact just to see what people are saying in town when you're bored but can't log in.

on the iphone there was an unofficial app for creating pg, choosing equip, setting merits and view ws damage
too bad is not updated since a long time before the first level cap raise.

would be lovely to see it made official with picture and all ^^

After reading this I decided to search my apps store, and WoW does have an app that allows players to communicate via their mobile phones. For SE it wouldnt be too hard to accomodate. update LS community to allow registered and logged in members to see chat from LS/friends etc. This way you wouldnt even need an app, just goto browser and log into pol community and you can talk to everyone no matter where you are. Maybe something SE could look into.

This would be great. If all it did was give access to chat with friends/linkshell it would be awesome. Other features such as viewing AH would be nice to haves, but the main thing I miss about the game right now are my friends there.

I program applications for both Android and iPhone, and with a little bit of work, it would be possible to send /tell and /linkshell.. The downside is you would have to have a character logged in on your computer with a little server app running in the background.

If there is a lot of interest, I could start working on a little side project for it.
