awiiya Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have gotten used to not having the sidebar for all this time, and I'm beginning to think that this downtime was actually a benefit to the game. Is it possible to add a box that turns the sidebar slider and notification on and off? It slows down my game and makes me miss PMs. Thank you.

Liberty4life Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 well i would also like to turn off that notification sounds as well they are annoying and i agree this fancy left menu slows down game to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm with you on this one. The light is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Greycloth Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree, perhaps we can come up with a list of suggestions in which we could put in a My Account section? For Instance: Music On/Off Dynamic Sidebar On/Off Sidebar Lights On/Off Notifications[Sounds] On/Off Minipop Ups On/Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) seconded, all of the above would make good options and help the game run more smoothly Edited April 21, 2009 by Nex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 what about a change password thing? or rather reset password, sends e-mail to you, click on link to change pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently if anyone gets your pass you are...erm...can I say "screwed" on the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrunner Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 the pass word thing is a good idea as is the rest for people with bad connects, though I actually like the lights since I keep the sound off or am listening to music, it makes it easier to answer PMs quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Greycloth Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Which is why it can be turned off seperately... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted April 23, 2009 Root Admin Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 changiny your password is a must for something like this. my base password has changed a few times since my account has been created and it is getting harder and harder to remember the hash for it.

Lucan Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 A "My Profile" section is definately missing in this game. This is a must-have feature for browsergames and should be added here, too. Besides the options already listed I would also add a function "Change Email" to adjust the connected email-address. It can happen that someone deletes his email account and needs to switch address. Another pretty useful option would be setting/changing the time zone used in the game. Very common is also an option to delete the account from the game. So here is a summary of wishes for a new menu "player settings": Music On/Off Dynamic Sidebar On/Off Sidebar Lights On/Off Notifications[Sounds] On/Off Minipop Ups On/Off Change Password Change Time Zone Change Email address Delete Account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 One small note: delete account was possible (in another form) but after a regrettable incident it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 yeah delete acc likely wont exist again also the change timezone thing would be more of a hinderance than help, as we have a common time to refer to currently we can say ''this will happen at 10:00'' and we'll all know when it is, if we each had different times on our clocks it'd be a lot more confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Greycloth Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Yes, what is the point of everyone having a different clocks? Because you can't look down a couple inches at the clock on your toolbar? Edit: One thing I would love to see is a Change Name. One use only, for those people who have a name like KrazedKid245262. So that they can have a respectable name once they realise that this is not a typical game... Edited April 25, 2009 by Fenrir Greycloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucan Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's just that I don't really like the idea to calculate the exact time each time I see a posting, a message, an attack or anything like that. The timestamps in the game and forum are most of the times used to get to know when something happened, like "the attack happened 2 hours ago". I don't need them to tell me what GMT time it was. If you talk about time you still need to calculate. If someone tells you that you meet at 10 GMT tomorrow, you still need to find out when it is in your time zone. So that's not really an argument in my opinion. You definately have to differ the timestamps and the time you arrange a "meeting". To which time zone you refer when talking is completely different from what is shown in the game. Just think of an announcement that an event will happen tomorrow at 9 GMT. The first thing that is normally done is calculating the exact time in the own time zone by substracting or adding the difference, like 9 + 2 = 11 GMT+2 tomorrow. To really use the "standard ingame time" for calculating, you need to calculate the hours left from current GMT time because this is the actual ingame time. Afterwards you add them to your current time, which is much more complicated and no one really does it that way. Otherwise the ingame time doesn't matter and everyone already sticks to the first option. As alternative the game could provide both times. This happens in other games without a problem and works pretty well. I play another international game which is totally based upon meeting at specific times and planning for a week. Until now this never caused a problem so that someone didn't know when it should happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 you'll get used to thinking in server time within a week... those are things that are not worth to bother at all imo, we are an elite community, living in two timezones at once shouldn't cause too much trouble :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 just as a point, the Server Time is Romanian time, not GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
