you want chat bubbles to pop up over people's heads so you can read where the chat came from cause its that important to you. because you have to be looking at that player. because you want to be scoping out their character. because you have to know where that player is standing at that very moment, whether it be near or far.

so when you have a dozen people around you all chatting. all you see is chat bubbles?

No.
I remember the Phantasy Star Online and Universe series of games doing this but has any other MMO? I cant recall any at the moment that I played and I've played more of them than most people thought even existed. Though maybe what I'm thinking of as chat bubbles is different than what others are picturing?
