Yay, Action Jackson is back on the job! 8-D

@Hultaan - I apologize in advance.  I am sure that I have misunderstood what you are saying. However, if you are saying that local chat does not need the location details - this depends on the intent of the change (i.e. while local chat is actually global, DL may be helping players by adding this so that it is easier to get help from nearby players).

@ jane - no need to apologize, all I suggested was to have the welcome message whit the location a similar message as the soc/corp, only this one sais when u loged in where u r, and the [L] should let know only u about this, ofc what u say is also a good point, the other ones should know if u need help , but I think that can be also used accessing some command to let other about your location, and not abuse the local chat whit long repetitive characters, is what I thought first time I saw it, ...peoples tend to chat, laugh and have a good time in game, saying 20 times where u r is nothing but spam, as I see it

a small command can resolve this, for those who need help, or can be something similar whit
(Sar) for Saransk
(Sar/t) for Saransk Terminal
(Sar/s) for Saransk Storage

and just clicking the Hultaan (Sar/t) on chat should show in your window the detailed message about the exact location "Saransk, Town at Weaponry & Tools craft building"

anyhow as I see, if the location show Hultaan (Unknown) how can u figured out where is that? a nooob cant be helped at all even if he need help, but clicking the Hultaan (U) everyone can see on his own chat window the players location

Agreed. It's a nice option to have, but it should really be an option. It should be a pull-down so you can pick from None, Town Only, Full Location. It would be even nicer to be able to assign a key binding to this option so that we can quickly either scroll through the options or turn it on and off at will without having to go into the Setup Options window every time.

Im not in favour of the announcements of where you are in the world whenever you chat ... Sometimes one would like to do activities in lets say areas of the game world where the last thing on your mind is to announce where you are,maybe because of the pvp level you are in at the time ... in real life would you announce you were in an area to the world,knowing the area/place could have dangerous implications for yourself,no of course you wouldn't ... I thought when AWS came the world would be so big you could just go about your business and not see another soul ...this area announcements made the world a lot smaller IMO and what about privacy choice,that's been taken away without even giving players the choice to turn it off ... gl
