I like all of these except the emoticons.  I'm not a huge fan of shoutboxes in general and think adding emoticons would muddy up an already unpleasant feature.  This is an aesthetic preference on my part at this point.  

Thank you each for your support. I feel this is something that will improve play for everyone by allowing them to just jump right into what they were last doing.

I agree with everything in me.

 

a small reward for having to endure such an annoyingly helpful feature. 

 

I'm yet to see what everyone is saying about the "annoying feature". I play 6-8 hours typically a day and I'm lucky to see  2 random events.

 

As for having to "endure" the random events; they're questions that can be answered in less than 10 seconds. I don't think any rewards are needed for spelling Alora backwards 

 

 

Meanwhile I received about 10 while training a skill to 99 about a week ago and they did disrupt my flow just enough to be annoying.  We'll have to agree to disagree on this one it seems but your argument is also valid.  I guess it comes down to tolerance for this sort of thing.  

XP lamps would need tinkering to scale down % wise for each game-mode also, sure this goes without saying. Classics can't be getting 15,000xp from a lamp. 

 

I think there is a spot for XP lamps in Alora but as for receiving them through random events I'm not sold on. I was thinking more adding them to Clues to make them more relevant. The higher the clue level the bigger the lamp. 

 

I don't think random events should be giving anything of value or notable out. We aren't going out of our way to get them and it's in place for bot control. I don't see why you get a pat on the back for not being a bot. That's my 2 cents.

See, I wouldn't look at it as a pat on the back for not being a bot but rather a small reward for having to endure such an annoyingly helpful feature.  But yes, exp would have to be carefully scaled so I agree with you on that point.  I also like the clue scroll idea you mentioned, maybe as an extension with higher exp rates given the increased amount of work to complete them.
