Non-newbie line
Posted: 25 Jul 2010 14:06
Just another wild idea, that could perhaps help people get along better. What about introducing the non-newbie tell line, to which you could of course subscribe or not (thus being invisible there and not receiving any messages). It wouldn't be as much of a 'helper' line, where people could ask various questions or a 'social' line where random bullshit would be spoken.
What I have in mind is more of a 'LFG' line, where you can 'lfg on/off' (perhaps with some more options/descriptions possible). People would be automatically removed from the list if they were inactive/stationary for 15 minutes or more.
Example:
Then you could 'gtell' someone on the list (or just send the message into open channel).
So, in other words, not so much of a chit-chat line, but rather a way of advertising that you're bored of going around all alone and would welcome some company and at the same time, a way for people to seek out others wishing to do so, without going through the tedious process of mailing people in hope that they're not idling/busy grinding alone.
What do you think about it?
