    Default Emotes - Can we please have these customizable like some other games?

    Guys,

    This has come up before, but I think it's worth revisiting in the hopes the devs will consider this.

    Please let us customize the text for emotes, such as:

    /boggle say is amazed by how silly %T is being

    This would come out as:

    <Name> is amazed by how silly <targetname> is being.

    This may seem like a minor change but it allows for huge variation in role playing and allows for some creative emotes based on the animations.

    It would make my RP experience twice as good. I know many have agreed in the past. Is there an RP rep to Trion that might get this considered or on a list. It seems like it would be easy.

    Wasn't following these customizations much , but can't you already do it with:

    /me is amazed by how silly %t is being ?

    The key difference is the use of the /boggle animation with a player specified emote text.

    Agreed - its the combination of animation and emote that is key. And you can't do an animated emote followed by a /em.. It restricts that in macros, and the delay from typing would ruin the effect.

    Bump. Any chance we RPers can have this? It'd be super easy to code up. Hell, send me the emote module(s) and I'll code it!

    We could just get /boggleanim, etc., emotes, maybe?
    You can play WoW in any MMO. You don't have to play WoW in RIFT. Oh, and no, RIFT is not a WoW clone. Not having fun any more? Learn to play, noob! I don't speak for Riftui, but I moderate stuff there. Got ideas for improving the RIFT community? Feel free to PM me. Just came back? Welcome back! Here's what's changed.

    BUMP! This is so easy to do and I miss it every day. Custom emote text to go WITH an animation is so powerful and so simple.

    In all honesty it doesn't seem to tricky to be able to assign the preset animations to a custom emote line, or to allow it.
    Debate classes should be directed to this site to be shown a plethora of illogical ways to present and support arguments.

    Not an RP person but I'll sign for this. Seems simple and would improve the quality of the game for many, so why not?
