Conquest of the Horde

WoW IM addon will show you a "So and So is typing!" message when you're exchanging whispers in it's whisper box. But that's about it.

I'm trying to figure out if your serious...
A serious conversation on something that could yes mean a patch for your server, But it also means making CotH hit the top of the RP leader-boards just for this small edge over the competition.

If they can do it in whisper then it's very possible for a server wide version to be done.
I can have my cousin who does this stuff for a living try and do it... but I have to get a hold of him first...

Hell, I won't use it anyways.

Erm, on that subject, I believe that we're already the most long lasted one, and the most qualified one.

I agree CotH should be, but it's not... compared to a few other rp servers... we're small... They have alot more activity...
the closest one to come to mind is Millennium... their Getting big...

This is a bit off topic, but I think we're not actually trying to compete with others.

Why would we care if Millenium was getting big?

While I applaud looking for ways to actively improve, I think that this is an example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The time and effort spent in getting this to work would most likely not equal the return. Cost-benefit analysis, baby!

Edit: Regarding competition with other servers, I'd like to point out that the wiki has links to other private roleplaying servers. According to the article:

Quote:We are aware that our server is not for everyone. The RP-server community is very small, compared to those that seem to focus purely on PvP or PvE, so we are more than happy to keep people aware of other RP servers out there with differing rulesets, playstyles, procedures, etc. to promote variety.

We feel that people should make their own decisions and form their own opinions of any particular server, so here is a list of others out there (in alphabetical order).

Frankly, I don't think that the idea of competition has even entered Kret's mind, given what he wrote!

... You just had to come and ruin everything by making a logical excuse?

Sidenote: We don't compete with the other servers.

Grr... I wasn't starting this topic to debate rather we want to be dominant over the competition... I said... "With this we will gain the edge to be number 1 on the leaderboards" This may be referring to it being a competition, but that is assuming WAY to much.

I don't think anyone was turning this into a debate, but just responding to what you were saying.

/shrug.

I am nothing if not logical. And it's not an excuse; it's a very valid way of determining whether or not a venture is worth undertaking! It's important to determine if the benefits that are gained from any planned action is worth what you spend (money, time, manpower). If it's not, then you move onto something with greater return.

Blame my management-focused education and experience.

What you're suggesting, would be time consuming, difficult, and not a very big improvement overall. We're not saying it's a bad idea, it would be a nifty little thing, it's just sort of unrealistic.

EDIT: SO MUCH OVERALL, OVERALLS.

Ahh... I just instantly assumed that was about it being a competition. So, it's Azheron The Derailer. Sorry about that.
