    There were a few questions asking if there would be a feature where you can make sounds that other players can hear via macro or the chat log, similar to the "calls" from FINAL FANTASY XI; however, we currently do not have any plans to implement this kind of feature. The main reason why is that we will be setting the game up and making adjustments so that everyone can play smoothly without needing to rely on these kinds of sounds. However, if there are enough players that feel strongly about this feature, we will look into it again.
    Please reconsider implementing <Call> or /buzz feature. It is essential to have a method to grab attention of distracted players especially if they have other optional sound effects turned off in their settings (such as tell notice).

    I'm going to be sincere.
    If a player has their notice sound effect turned off, they are definitely going to have their call sound effect turned off or downright mute the game. People who are annoyed enough by game sounds to turn off a simple notification WILL turn off the game's sounds at a player-controlled notification sound.
    Same with people who are annoyed at /call, they're just going to turn their sound off, much to their detriment as there is much to listen in the game that is more important than that sound.
