Party chat: What it is, and what it is not

<< < (5/6) > >>

Dorganath:
Best thing to do if you're unsure is to ask. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was new here at some point. It takes time and good examples and asking if the other two are unavailable or unclear.

Pen N Popper:
I think members of the community that have been playing for over a month should know by now, but please remember to keep OOC talk to stuff that is necessary to communicate for OOC reasons. Our actions set the example that other players live by. If you're mixing in OOC banter with your IC RP, it will taken as accepted practice. If you want to chat socially with other players, which is a lot of fun too, try out IRC.

  If this doesn't cure you of your desire to chat OOCly, nothing will. :-)

Xerah:
Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but if you right click on the black bar above your chat screen, you can toggle things off like party chat, shouts etc.  If I DMing somewhere and my screen was getting flooded with Elven, then I just ask the people the people to do their elven in party mode and switch it off.

Another useful tip is putting the server notes in your left screen when you're in combat.  That way they won't get drowned out by the dice rolls and you can still see if someone you might have been waiting for has joined.

Stephen_Zuckerman:
The languages will always come out in Talk.

Xerah:
Yes, I know that, but you have to pick your language then say:

/dm [Yes.]

And it would display in talk as translated.  If you say it in party mode than the DM can turn off party mode and won't be bothered by messages in party or messages in dm.
