How about the ability to invite people to a server you are currently in. This would be easily done by clicking the Invite button, that would be in the "task bar" of the display screen. Once clicked, a prompt will come up, displaying your friends list. Not only can you invite people on your friends list, you can invite anyone by using the "Type-In" button, which allows you to type in a name, and then be able to submit that name. Of course, if the name is misspelled, a message will come up as "Cannot find player.". However, if such a thing happens, another prompt comes up showing the recommends for the name typed in. For example, if you typed in "Telimon", but it came up incorrect, there would be another prompt, showing possible actual spellings of the name, such as "Telamon", or "Talemon", or anything of the sort. Basically, it helps you get someone invited, without much trouble at all.
Invites appear in your message box as a "Invite Message". Or, if you are currently within a game, you'll receive a flashing Invitation Badge icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Upon clicking the icon, you'll receive a message asking if you want to be invited to another game/a game currently in progress. If clicked Yes, then the player will be logged out of any game that he/she might be currently in, and then re-logged into the game he/she was invited to. If there is an issue logging in, the player is then redirected to the game page that he/she was being invited to, and then the server that he/she was being invited to will be highlighted, to provide easy access to the server again, so that the player may attempt to accept the invitation again.
Sending invitations can also be done via the chat bar, which can be done by typing in "/invite [username]". Post thoughts. |
