Binomial Nomenclature and /tell /target commands

I hope not everything is point and click, I havent used kb mouse in 7 years on an MMO i dont intend to use one now. In other words I hope the ps3 version has a way to maybe hit square to open the log and select a name with the dpad.

Why? Not their fault you're lazy nor is it really their fault if they decide to name themselves HiyoIamavery Longnameyouneedtotype.

Here's a bit of trivia for you:

Did you know, every person you've ever talked to entered your auto translation dictionary so all you had to do was start typing it and hit tab to complete their name? Yeah quite handy isn't it.

Because

1) some people like having surnames and being regarded in a professional manner by some NPCs and a casual manner by others, and so role players can do things like create characters that are relatives of eachother (e.g. same last name) and so on.
2) there are plenty of ways to address the /tell issue without removing the surnames.

You'd be one of the few. One of the reasons most UI functionalities in most PC software today utilize the mouse is ebcause it is an easy and intuitive to use input device. Virtually all MMOs outside of FFXI were primarily played with keyboard and mouse.

That being said, i'm sure there will be a hotkey for it or something that you can bind to a button. I'm rather curious how you typed in people's names for tells in FFXI without a keyboard.

Pretty much lol, my brother told me in a game him and his gf is playing atm they have a little penguin thing that does just that for the most part.

The "hey listen" thing is a reference to Navi in Zelda Orcarina of Time.

Thanks for answering this ? Okipuit

I know, which is pretty much what the penguin does lol. It's just as annoying.

More people should just pick shorter names. Like me!
