adiomino Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) I thought it would be nice if there was an Adept-Mentor chat. So i could chat with my adepts and leave messages for them there regularly instead of having to pm each and every one of them. And we could all talk at the same time if we wanted to. Not sure where this chat would go. But an extra button wouldn't hurt would it? x) Yes? No? Give me your opinions It would be easier to answer questions. Since my adepts have soo many questions (which i love). They take up a lot of my pm message sends. =.= And i only have 10 active right now XD with just 3 asking the questions XD And please don't get the wrong idea. I do love answering pms one by one. (which is one of the reasons why i'm aiming for mp6) [b]If this can't be done i'd love to see a rise in the amount of pms one can send out. Perhaps a rise in the limit only for people that have say 10 active adepts at a time. This would help :DD[/b] I'm just scared because i almost had an experience where i ran out of pms to send xD but i was still being asked question by my adepts. gahh xD All i'd use this new chat for are things like... posting "Oh hey guys don't forget I'm here to answer all your questions if you have any atm!" Or "Hello guys i'd like to remind all of you to check out the forum every once and a while. Good info packed in it" And things like "Oh KEEN you have a quick question? Well.. okay then lemme answer it >" Stuff like that It wouldn't be used to make being a mentor easier.. But rather to augment my mentoring abilities.

Root Admin Chewett Posted October 11, 2010 Root Admin Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 You are meant to look after them. You are being lazy, a couple pms doesnt hurt. no because: each person would need another "chat" unless its global then you get into global chat which wont be made its lazy and you should take some effort to look after them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendril Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 While I can see the merit of an adept chat, this is why you are able to mail your adepts directly. If you need to talk to them in real time, there's always the ability to stand next to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamisha Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Mur talked about this but on a different subject. One reason for the astral plane being shut down in the past was due to the chat logs integrated into it (along with other things). I'm sure most people understand the merit to this but the fact is it would just be breaking both a rule and lastly as chewett said its being lazy. If you want to send the same message to each one just highlight ctrl+c ctrl+v though I give them if they where still active more selective advice.

CrazyMike Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Some call it lazy, some call it efficient. I too would like to see a chat of such nature but I believe the cost (resources - time and space) of implementation might outweight the pros.

Udgard Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Since the subject's been brought up again though.. the ability to mail your mentor? Mentors can mail adepts directly, is it possible to have the other way around option as well? apophys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 We already have it. It's called Friends' List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseeker Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Actually..we don't even need a friend's list, it's called PM system. As you pointed out adi, you can PM them. Sure, a PM is more bothersome than a chat, but you could use the labels for each and every adept you have Pming you..until people mix labels up you have your chat.
