We've heard the tale before.
A relatively experienced player spends hour after on OHOL. They build and scour onetech for new recipes. They've created everything at least once.
And now, they continue to work past the toxicity and griefing, toiling away making pads and deconstructing unneeded weapons in villages.
A truly good member who has stuck by the game through thick and thin.
But instead of congratulating their effort, the community beats and breaks them.
They take knives to the forge and get shot for hogging knives.
They gather blades to make scrap steal and get shot for making knives.
They make pads and constantly get their wool stolen for someone's dress.
They heal someone and get shot for healing someone another person regarded to be a griefer.
They attack a griefer and get shot for killing someone.
You know what would stop this? Good communication.
Just tell someone you're taking knives to the forge for deconstruction.
Tell someone the wool is yours.
Ask what is the crime the "griefer" commited.
But people don't always listen, and in a crowd your voice can easily be lost.
Introducing: directed messages!
Instead of saying something into a crowd, you should be able to use a command to the effect of /chat John Doe
Your message would become highlighted to that person, and only to that person. Others would be able to see it, just as a normal message.
To prevent overuse, you'd only be able to use it once every minute. That way people would use it when they really want to address a certain person. It'd make getting someone's attention far easier on the small screen.
There could also be /whisper for private convos. Basically private messaging.
|Let's upgrade communication and promote talking things out.|
TL;DR: Private messaging and directed chat
Offline
I wouldn`t mind some sort of /whisp that only appears to those standing in adjacent tiles or something
