A small request for one the next patches to come.

What's the status on /stand and /online?

/sit will make you stand if you are sitting, what is /online?

[Krausus]

its amazing that something as simple as LOLOLOL "shut down" took over a year to implement.

well it didnt take them a year to design the option they have a lst of things they need to do some stuff gets priority, this isnt new news, it is the way every MMO works.

Is /shutdown the same thing as ALT+F4?
Dunno, never played FFXI to know that thing.

Yeah, it doesn't take a year to design nor implement a shut down command, it's hard to ignore they had bigger priorities ahead of them, i.e battle system reform which does take a significant amount of time.

Yep, the way FFXI did it was you either logged out to be taken back to the character select or POL, or shutdown to completely close the game, so it's basically alt+f4.

Ah, I see. Oh well, I have an F4, and an ALT so I'll never use it =)

wait...
I think I'll try with someone who wants to leave party and doesn't know the command/how to exit from it =D

Well, alt+f4 doesn't store your new macro configs (basically any client-side alterations) and, in FFXI, it used to screw up your inventory.

[Rane]

Sounds good! Until then, I'll continue to Rage(Alt)quit(tab) as per usual.

I used to do this sometimes. Then I realized that it meant that any config changes I had made while playing didn't save.

/d'oh!

We’ll be implementing the ability to use the text command “/shutdown” in patch 1.20.

By entering the text command “/shutdown,” players will be able to shut down the game client without having to return to the character selection screen and continue the process to shut down.

We’ll also be making a change to the “log out” option from the main menu. When selecting “log out” from the main menu, players will be able to select whether to return to the character selection screen or completely shut down the game client.

We appreciate your patience so far and ask that you hang on a bit longer until patch 1.20.

WOOT! YES

um. . . isn't it just faster to hit the windows key when in fullscreen, or hit CTRL ALT DEL (for w7 and vista) when the window is up?

Unless you type extremely slowly, no. /shutdown also forces the game to save (in XI anyway.)
