Auto away msgs

Post by Guest » 26.04.2007, 20:34

I think it will be a nice addition to add a auto-away msg system.
Some of the users aren't available every day, and some take vacations sometimes and just gone for a while.
If there would be an auto away msg, that a user can set to auto answer for a preset time, that will help alot.

Contracts buyers and sellers won't get stuck sending contracts with no replies, they'll just not the user they are sending/receiving is away.

What do u think?

Most of the users do not want to have such a system:
if you e.g. put this system on: you are away for a specific time, your customers/ suppliers will think that you are online as long as you don*t switch this system on. And that leads to tons of messages: you are online, why don't you sign my contract.... etc.

an auto-awaycontract could be even more intresting I think, for example,
you have a topic on the sales forum, where you sell certain goods at certain prices, ppl pay a small fee to send an instant order if the goods are available at the sellers warehouse, after that the contract will be automaticly generated and there will be no delay 8)

no, sorry.. these automatic contracts will not be implemented here...

And I do not think that users really want their goods to be sent out automatically: if you open a thread in the forum and e.g. 50 people want to have this product, you won*t be able to produce with your own products or supply your goods to a regular customer unless you delivered all your goods to these 50 people...

I'm ok with AirParker
because, when a "daily" contact goes in vacancy for some days, you will not sent contract to him during this while (and prefer to sent contract to the market for example)
BUT I'm ok with tycoon too....

what we should do is "putting" a "comeback date" if we "leave" the game for a while (not for the day to go to your works)
"Coming Back on May,2nd" for example
