It's not a big deal, but I'd reaaally like to see the guards at the gate, remind you in some way to sheathe your weapons when you enter a city/town/village. No where really likes you to have your weapons out, and it makes sense that the guards would rather you sheathe them before entering their city.
I know this would really help me, because obviously my char would realise they still had their weapons drawn, you couldn't miss it, but I, as a player, -constantly- forget. It's really annoying, and I keep wishing the guards would remind me before I step into a posh tavern and get -a lot- of funny looks.
It wouldn't be hard to code right? To have a gate guard say something like
'Oi you, put yeh weapon away if yeh comin' in here!'
Oooh ooh, or better yet: since 'assess' now shows if someone is armed or not, how about adding an 'armed' variable to the prompt? Says "armed" if you are, outputs nothing if you aren't.
>prompt %h/%v/%t/%A>
100/120/100/>
100/120/100/> draw sword
You draw an obsidian longsword.
100/120/100/Armed>
Yes please. Either will do. :D
EDIT:
Actually I spent half an hour getting beaten up yesterday by something that I should have killed in a couple of hits, because i forgot i'd sheathed my weapons. So prompt please.
Uh, depending on what client you use, you could do this yourself. I did, and it was rather simple. Just check to see if your client has some sort of static indicator, like a status bar or somesuch.
Uhuh. And that didn't go straight over my head. Honest.
Not all mudders are clever geeks. :( Some of us are just dorks.
If your client can set up simple triggers, I think it would be allowed for you to do something like:
pattern: Saving at the gates of Allanak
action: sheathe kank-prod;sheathe umbrella

Mmmm, custom prompts. I haven't, as yet, set up anything for Armageddon, but this reminds me.

this is the best solution, that or being aware of your character. Turning off aim, your email, etc helps a long way toward character awareness and immersion.

I lost a long long lived character when I attacked a creature I was supposed to
gather the meat from. I have killed plenty before in quick hits, this time I attacked
without my weapons though and found out how hard it could hit. I died and it
was sad.
