What the title says.



friend18 -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/12/2012 21:07:15)

You'll get a admin message saying that you shouldn't be talking about this sort of stuff.



Retrosaur -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/12/2012 21:16:08)

That's bad.

For example, hyperlink it to a site filled with viruses, bam, user clicks, say goodbye to your computer.

No. To. This. Thread.



Killer666 -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/12/2012 21:23:25)

Never heard of Hyperlink? can u fill me in.



ReconnaisX -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/12/2012 23:17:26)

A hyperlink is basically a link. So if I were to say in-game "google.com" the link would become clickable. If someone clicked it, they would be directed to Google.

But why is this feature needed?



Midnightsoul -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 1:25:28)

I just made this for fun and I had youtube in mind....I mean it would really help for people who could make vids and share them. I am sorry about the risks for viruses, I was just thinking on the positive side...
I know this feauture is not really important, but I like to discuss about ideas. :/

ReconnaisX -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 3:09:05)

So then what if there could be a hyperlink filter- it could only accept links from certain domains, like youtube.com, preventing any sort of virus situation.



Ashari -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 4:28:37)

Unfortunately, something like this creates more problems than it's worth. This feature was added to AQW for a short period of time, but the spam created by players abusing the feature was too big of a problem.

In the end, it would have to be extremely filtered, which brings to question the value of such a feature. YouTube may be safe in terms of viruses, but it still creates an area that open for advertising. You wouldn't want to see central station full of advertisers, would you?



Battle Elf -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 7:25:36)

I agree with Ashari's points on this one. There's already a large amount of players just saying "F4F" having hyperlinks would be possibly worse.



Wind -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 7:54:49)

Yes, other than "virus infected" links.

Players may also post, inappropriate sites which wouldn't be suitable for younger more juvenile players. So to be able to filter multiple Unwanted sites would be very hard for the developers.
Also as said already, there would be a lot of spammer who advertise other sites of things such as "fame me!"

Also I have seen many experiences in past online games where bot accounts spam hyperlinks to Scamming and Hacking Sites. And since people believe they can get "Free Varium" on these sites, it'll also be a big breach of account privacy, and would increase the amount of scammed accounts. This would of course also increase the amount of work for the AE Helpteam.

So this idea may be a good idea, if there was a filter set to only Artix Entertainment links. But there are lots of negative affects to this as well.



MrBones -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 10:33:21)

I can't see any positive effects for the game with that being implemented.

I am also having quite a bit of trouble understanding the way things are run in this forum, where some suggestion posts are being allowed and some don't. It seems everthying is arbitary to one's taste and there is absolutly no logic behind it.

Very disapointed, again.



King Helios -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 10:34:27)

^He asks what would happen if it was implemented.



PivotalDisorder -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 11:58:39)

The World would literally E.N.D



King FrostLich -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 12:05:10)

Allows rickroll videos to pop out.



goldslayer1 -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 14:18:11)

for regular chat, i would say no.
private messages aswell.

HOWEVER, in Headquarters messages (factions)
they should allow the use of hyperlinks.
this would sort of be an improvement for factions.



Stabilis -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 14:30:43)

Umm...

Why not just use expandable captions? When the player either clicks or scrolls over whatever, a detailed caption pops out. This is very comparable to how skills display in-battle.



rej -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 16:42:31)

Right now you cannot even type a proper website address, let alone Hyperlink it. It would be better if the system were to stay like this.



My Name is Jake -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 16:53:51)

@Ashari I don't even think other players in AQW could see the link you sent only you could...



King Helios -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 16:55:38)

Would be colossal spam. Links to char pages/youtube/other websites. Imagine scammers.



InceptionAE -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/13/2012 23:09:41)

I support this idea. But as long as some sites are censored. Like inappropriate sites that are of pornography should be censored from the game. Or any that will lead to violent images. Maybe a censored hyperlink if you know where am getting at.



Retrosaur -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/14/2012 6:00:31)

Hyperlink is already sketchy as it is. With the advent of url shorteners such as TinyURL, now any site can be your own personal trolling tool, and can be very hard to trace.

I would highly disagree with this hyperlink thing. Pornography, Virus-filled sites, Scams, Phishing...the list goes on and on and on. Basic answer. No.




goldslayer1 -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/14/2012 8:03:26)

i still think it should be allowed on faction note pad in HQ. and that place only.



nico0las -> RE: What would happen if you could hyperlink stuff in-game? (6/15/2012 16:38:46)

There would be a lot of disturbing links floating around.
