So, Evindra, love of my life, server near and dear to my heart ...
 
We're the NA RP-server and it's a great place to be. It warms the cockles of my cold heart to see so many people at all hours of the day and night, enjoying themselves in the friendliest community this game has to offer.
 
But this morning, I just about had a HULK SMASH moment.
 
 
See, one of the benefits of the RP community is that they've taken the world of Nexus and are making it their own. Everywhere I go, on every zone, I stumble across players of both factions chatting it up, tossing emotes at each other, telling stories and generally bringing a life to Wildstar that is amazing to witness and participate in.
 
So this morning, I'm in Gallow trying some recruitment and farming lowbie mats for crafting dailies. There are like ... a half-dozen people RPing here. I can see their cool story and read along and they are obviously very into it. I thought I'd put on my Sheriff-mode and wander over and introduce myself, in a neighborly manner.
 
But, I can't find them. Anywhere. I've looked in every building, around every landmark, in the mine, out in the field. There is no indication which way they might be. The range of /say and /emote must be way bigger than I thought. I *could* send one a tell, but I don't know these people and it's much more fun to just wander up and RP an introduction.
 
If I could only find them!
 
So, pretty please ... when you guys get some time, toss us a toggleable Player Chat Window option somewhere? I know some folks find them distracting and that's groovy, just make it a click.
 
Or is there an addon I can get that marks friendlies on the map? That'd be just a fine - maybe even better - than chat bubbles.

			I don't RP but this bugs me all the time as well. The emote and say range is pretty massive.

The range on /say and /emote is somewhere around 300 meters in game, I believe.
 
In your housing plot, basically /say will carry across the entire map, INCLUDING in and out of your house.
 
The range on this really does need to be shortened significantly IMO. It also needs to be restricted inside instanced areas like one's house.

			Indeed ... tired of walking by a building and being subjected to all the EMO ERP :P

			Another thing City of Heroes did right
