Shattered Kingdoms

If you bump into quiet mode while fighting or anything else with lots of scroll you may not notice the alert messages that the status has changed. I've had days where I've been in quiet mode for hours and not known it until players log on to yim/aim and smack me upside my head.

On a priest alt a while back I accidentally hit quiet mode and went out and about for about 5 or 6 hours on a longer SK day. It took an Imm to notice and ping me via room echos as there was about 10 people who were trying to send me tells for resses.

Some days I wonder if priests go on quiet mode to avoid being rez [REDACTED]...

Maybe the message should be changed to be colored so it stands out.

Would anyone have a major problem with you getting a message well on quite mode something like “Someone is trying to contact you mentally.” It would mess up logs a little but would let you know someone was trying to contact you. You could ignore it AKA quite mode or remember your still on quite mode from before and toggle it off.

I think that would defeat the purpose of quiet mode. I think if the message saying that you were in quiet mode were a bright color you would have less accidental quiet modes.

What if QUIET mode was more like ACTION -- it returns to normal when you QUIT and log back in?

That is a good idea. Dulrik should implement that in his next update.
