I didn't read every post here but i guess MaxR1159 brings it to the point!
But there is something else i would like to mention here.
I dont't know if everyone here has spoken about jumping. If yes - i must apologize.
For me it was fantastic as Alley brought the "Jumpmacro" which works like the setmsg. command. in game.
Now it is hard for me to jump and type a lot of numbers and letters in the chat while roleplay. Yeah right i am a very slow typer and an Old man....
For people like me the : /savecoords command, was a awesome gift! Maybe there is a solution..
I think it has done more harm now to remove the /1/2 thank to keep it.
People have forgotten how to rp good and the rp have experienced during this time is crap.
You gave the community a thing and they learned to use it and adapted to it... And then it got taken away and they are worse without having it. Like... Before and after electricity.
Its seriously a shame but yeah... There is less effort now to roleplay than it was before.
I don't know Nom, I think you are looking at the past through rose colored glasses. There hasn't been a time when I have been here that the question of low quality of rp wasn't constantly discussed. From U Rus? To Lolwut? This has always existed on the server. I have been back playing about 2 months now and I haven't found there to be much difference in the level of rp from when I left to know, which is to say I haven't seen much change in the level of rp in most of the time since I started. This isn't anything now and it hasn't gotten dramatically worse and as someone who was around, I'll tell you it isn't any worse than it was before setmsg. Setmsg didn't cause this, it is the nature of the beast.

Nothing more to say than this , jerks will be jerks command or no command enabled . Question is , do all other players have to suffer unfortunate consequences and inconvenience because of jerks ?

Sorry but im going to stongly disagree with you.
People dont care anymore. I have seen several people leave as well based on the rp that is now compare to what was.

Is this a reversal of your previous opinions on setmessages or just sheer baseless complaining?

People always complain about the RP, there are always people who say they leave for the RP. Trying to assign blame to setmsg is well, to be plain and simple, stupid.
Im stupid now? Lol
If you see the evidence I have then you will quickly take back that crap.
Oh and @Petitioner you are either baiting me or just ignorant to hear from someone else's point of view.
I dont just pull this out of my butt, dude. I conclude from what I experience.
Of you wana call me stupid more then go for it and be closed to the possibility a fellow veteran member is suggesting.
You guys see something you don't like and rather than have an open mind you call it stupid and complaining.
What a toxic attitude.
I still believe the removal or setmessages is a good thing, it means people have to put that extra bit of effort into there roleplay which makes it meaningful and more enjoyable, I have noticed it alot the roleplay is lacking but this is because people have been out of the roleplay loop for a long time now. Please keep it like this it is more enjoyable than those /l1 /l2 engagements and what not.
