NOTE: I apologize for issues with formatting. However it's what the parser spits when people use /me's with color. I don't have the patience to keep cleaning it up, so it's just there this time around. Judge: Ashley R.

/language should definitely only be for languages. I'd advocate for potentially a low-profile /accent command with a limit to 2 words that appears either in a unique color or has a predefined set of accents for use (IA = Irish Accent, RP = Received Pronunciation, CA = Cockney Accent, FA = French/Franco Accent, etc for as many as are realistic/could be potential). Or maybe a symbol that indicates accent Ashley R. Pauncefote (British*): where the * is short for it being an accent, not a language. I'm also all in favor of it being specifically used in descriptions. However people actually pulling up individual character descriptions seems to be a rarity unless they're specifically directed or do so regularly anyway. Not a lot of folk actually do it consistently.

I'm having flashbacks. Thank you for not being a community owner or stakeholder. In all seriousness, the rule's been in place since before launch. It's a pretty obvious one. Why pick this hill to die on?

Updated again; full service is in effect (pending any issues knocking things off the route for one reason or another). No plans at this time to expand to New Austin as yet.

As much as I agree with this, there's no interconnection between banks so there'd need to be a script addition set up for every player to set their primary bank. Which might not be feasible as a short term/QoL update.

Asking/suggesting to please expand the radius of phone ringing. It seems way too small if someone on one side of the Blackwater PD can't hear it when the phone's in the room.

Updated; service coverage is now everything east of the Dakota River!

Another addition; /autolow for busy spots. Also if possible, fixing area chat on colored accent text. That makes my head hurt. Edit: To clarify since I got a downvote, /autolow as a command that automatically makes your talking/actions low without needing to /low, /melow, /lowto, etc every time. Makes it easier to keep to smaller discussions when in a busy area or large group. The area chat issue I have isn't that accents/languages are colored, but that the color correction on the close of the accent text (white) overrides the full chat spoken. Which means you have no gauge of distance of the people talking.

Something like /highlight that allows you to change the color or add a signifier before posts from specific people selected. I have a hard time following the chat these days, it'd be very helpful.
