Re: Idle/AFK Indication
As for class, if you need to take a phone call or something a simple PM to the teacher to inform them, that way there is no chance of them interacting with you till you state otherwise.
It's getting annoying how people are announcing publicly they are going AFK, a simple PM to the person(s) they are interacting with is all that is needed, and you can easily piggyback the tell command:
/tell azra Going afk, need to answer the phone;tell voth Going afk, need to answer the phone.
Saves having press enter each time to tell different people.

Re: Idle/AFK Indication
I've had times where I had to go AFK, simply told the people involved. As long as others keep doing the same, it shouldn't warrant the need of a seperate command, I think.
Re: Idle/AFK Indication
/rpafk ::Oberon seems to be preoccupied by looking into the mist of the waterfall, and does not seem to notice your presence.::
And have that pop up if someone aims at you just like the name indicator does. Other than that it's just as Alehk said, pointless immersion shattering. A perpetual chatbox while you're sitting somewhere achieves the same purpose. People get the idea.
So while it would be "easy to implement" the question is "should we implement it?" I'm leaning towards "No" considering it's not really adding any functionality to the mod or our community.

Re: Idle/AFK Indication
Strictly speaking, Skrassk is right in his approach. However, an /afk command could still be beneficial regardless. I've gone to absurd lengths (didn't occur to me to hit spectator) to hide somewhere appropriate only to have people come up to interact. If used properly, it can still be of some use. I'd like to have Alehk take a snooze on a sofa in the cantina and happily /afk, that'd (I hope) class as appropriate AFK'ing. It's something that can be RP'd around.

Re: Idle/AFK Indication
I myself think the icon above the head is the best idea for this. its small, it's no more intrusive than the chat bubble, and it's easily distinguishable. I think, however, after speaking to Amoné, that this icon should be placed slightly lower than the chat bubble, and made to be very small. Like a small circle icon. This way it does not clutter the screen too much, and if someone happens to AFK with their bubble up, the two won't overlap and hide the icon. I could possibly design one that even looks like it's connected to the chat bubble, or resdesign both to appear as interlocking icons.

Re: Idle/AFK Indication
So yeah, all for Syrena's last comment. My two cents.

Re: Idle/AFK Indication
I personally would just say to change our chat bubble with the ". . ." to just be "ZzzZzz" or something similar. Otherwise it would kind of mess up the RPing.
