Is there a way to tell which DM is online like you can with players? If not is there any chance of such a system being implemented? would be nice to know.

Used to be, but was taken down so DMs can have their privacy. If we're available for requests DMside, we make a shout. If we aren't, such as busy running a quest, or handling an issue, or otherwise preoccupied or dealing with something - no shout.

Saves us being spammed with constant tells.

Guess that's understandable, thanks for the response.

Jusk ask in the DM channel short and to the point what you need, you'll get a response if they have time or not.

Aw, it was more about looking for several specific DMs for different reasons, ongoing RP, trying to contact one of their PCs, passing on a message, ect. Just figured it would save time asking for the DM if we could check ourselves.

If a lot of DMs are on, I usually /tp the ones I already know, to see if they are around. usually works. Though I'd advice against it really, because DMs are 95% busy if they aren't making shouts.

Either running RP or observing RP, or doing one of a thousand other tasks ,while people swarm the DM channel with requests.

'Tis why I don't envy them :twisted:

well it works sometimes, command of showing players list. but as WonWon said, I agree that showing it would cause lots of spamming. So just for the records, which DM is online might be seen trough "players list" command, which should be fixed I guess, for mentioned reasons.

Do not forget Party Channel SPAM too, Grave.

PMs.

DMs do not want our names listed because we get spammed, we get picked out, people will purposefully act different if they know certain DMs are or aren't on.

So its not a good idea to make/consider a nwnx plugin that gives IRC interaction ingame? <.<

We're not a chatroom. People in game should be roleplaying and adding to the server, not idlig and chatting in IRC.

Which DM is online?
