afk tag next to player name

Post by feenix » Mon Dec 26, 2011 9:09 pm

im sure it's been said before but i would love if u type /afk in game a tag next to ur player name shows up like this: fleet admiral feenix - AFK

this way everyone know if u afk or not when they want to talk to u. of course if u don't want it to show up don't type it.

I yjink it would go good along with the announcement for killing someone, it would be changed to say that the person killed was afk.

no, this is a good idea. Then we can pick out the sleeper killers and stuff.

I don't really agree with this. Since it removes an element of surprise from the game. Like someone turning up cloaked to defend his colony from 6-7 people. Or if there's a war it kinda removes the surprise of allies turning up to join the fight.

Ok, so you want a 'tag'. However, just imagine you not long about to be invaded by another players.. wait a second.. ill do /afk and make it look like am afk then ill go blast his/her f'ing heads off. Also think about if the /afk was done to someone else and they came and blew you away.

Bad idea.

o.0 how is that possible? as soon u press a key afk goes away. that's how the other games do it.
