Subject: Improvements to the Paging System Author: Darkstone News [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, Sep 27 2003, 03:23am In reply to: Darkstone News 's message, "Some Updates FYI" on Sat, Sep 27 2003, 03:16am Ultima Online’s in-game “help menus” and Game Master paging system are receiving several small but notable improvements with Publish 20. New help for harassment: The “harassment” section of the help menu has been revised to now include two options for these sorts of help-calls: “physical harassment” and “verbal harassment.” This revision will help Game Masters prioritize calls more efficiently and expedite responses as appropriate. Instructions for how or how not to use these petitions will be included in that same menu section. Players can give more information: The amount of information which players will be able to send in a help request will be increased from around 40 characters to over 200 characters. More information from Game Masters: When a player receives a “tell message” from a GM, a “message button” will appear in the top-left corner of the game window. Pressing that button will pop up a new message gump-window. The message gump may now also hold longer messages, allowing GM responses to include more information & details than was previously possible. Responses from Game Masters may now include HTML-enhanced displays and web addresses, including links to pertinent online documentation. This new message gump will persist until closed by the player (rather than disappear after a time as the old system message text did). Messages from GMs are not cleared on logout, and can be stored for up to 3 days. (Note: Independent from the large message gump, the small “message” button will remain available for player, allowing them to review messages up to three days after receiving them.)
