Looking for Group?

[HR-Trevor]

We could make a tool to make it easier to find others for group hunting and such. A lot of larger graphical mmorpg's have this sort of feature. It could even be expanded to include LFG (Looking for Group) options like "hunting" groups, "social" i.e. RP or hangout groups, and such.

However the big question is, given the small population, would -you- use such a tool often?

i'm saying no, not because it's a bad idea, but because i just can't see it doing that much in HR as of now.

with around 15-30 active players, and with most having comms if not telepathy, i'm not sure what this option would offer that a simple think or transmit can't accomplish. would it flag people in the WHO? that might be nice.

if anything, i'd like to see it for the RP stuff more than the hunting stuff, unless the hunting stuff allows you to include what range you'd be interested in hunting.

Seriously though, I'd rarely use it. I hate hunting in groups, and I prefer rp to be a bit more random than organizing groups through an in-game command. I may use it here or there though.

What I had in mind, if I did it, was something like this:

I think it's a neat idea. There's plenty of times that I log in and just feel like hanging out and socializing as opposed to hunting and foraging (both of which I prefer to do alone). CC is nice when people are around, but often it's been empty and I'd really rather not just transmit "Hey, I'm lonely. Someone come entertain me." Not my style.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd really like to see this IG and I definitely would use it regularily.

I guess this isn't too bad an idea as my initial response (when I voted no, hurf durf). As long as people don't start transmitting/telepathying...
