Disagree with the feature, would look to go the other way instead (show character name in LOOC). |

I personally like it. I feel like a lot of the time LOOC chat is coupled with the character (i.e. asking if the other person is okay with something you are going to do etc.). |

Strongly agree with adding this - seems like a simple QOL improvement. I'd have no issue with removing the ckey entirely and just having character name. Ultimately, the purpose of LOOC is to inform other players of IRL/network issues that will impact an RP scenario, to ask permission/posit an RP scenario, or to help teach newer players with things that can't be done through ingame interactions (where you have to tell them to click on something/drag sprites, etc that can't be done through ingame means). Having a character name helps clarify all of these situations. |

What about making this a toggle (a verb in the commands tab maybe?) that starts off so you can identify yourself if you want but don't have to? |
|
I can take a look at that. Have just been busy with other things at the moment and kind of forgot this was still here. |
|
I feel like a toggle removes a good portion of the utility this change is attempting to bring. From what I can see, any legitimate use of LOOC involves a player's character, not their arbitrary user name (planning out an RP, informing someone else of network issues, interactions between experienced/inexperienced players giving instructions). What situations would someone benefit from having their ckey display without a character name? |
|
If the toggle is a no then it's probably better to show only the character name. |

About the PR
Adds the mobs heard name to LOOC messages.
As far as i know you always have /mob, only thing this does is if you're still in the starting lobby your ckey will show up instead. So it should be safe?
Why's this needed?
Often find myself asking who someone is in LOOC if trying to have conversation there on the RP servers. This should take care of that. I don't think metagaming is a huge issue since most people already have a character name everyone recognizes. It could be a different story on the main servers though so there's the possibility of making this a thing only for the RP servers.
