I coulnt think of anywhere else 2 put this, but when you guys finish the official NR chat system, will you get points for using it? I know that could be eaisily abused, but theres a lot of ways to prevent that. and obviously the points would be extreamly small per msg. but I was just wondering if you had plans for such things.

    hmm.. I'm sure if we were todo such a thing, it wouldn't be done per message, but rather the:

    ( messages sent / amount of time ) * points per message

    as this would probably remove skewing of spammers or idlers.

      Problem with that one is you run into having people take advantage by simply spamming less msgs for more profit. Also you run into the fact that for anyone that is at all wanting to raise there rank, it would discourage people from talking. I guess that would work, but only if you wanted to go that direction, wich is not in all was bad, it would make it easier to keep up with the room and such so its a one-hand-or-the-other type thing.

        well, what i mean by my comment, is, if we wanted to do something like that, the bad parts would out weigh the good.

        Actually we have not completely settled on a solution to this but have been bouncing ideas around. However in whatever direction we decide to go the exact math on the situation is not real enough quite yet to say.

            It has nothing to do with not being able to understand. It is either that we do not have enough to be sure, and therefore do not want to misled anyone with false info... or... in the case of things like achievement point scoring, we do not want to let out the exact math because it makes it easier for someone to find a way to abuse the system to get ahead unfairly.

    Shut up and die.

    If it had anything to do with the amount of time spent in there, the regulars would have billions of points.....

    could be a sort of Active time ding type thing, where every so often anyone who has said anything since the last ding gets a point. That would prevent spamming to a degree, as well as grant those who are more active in the chats to get more and prevent someone from just staying in not saying anything to get points.
