environmental messages

Similar to being ensnared in a field with a spider web on it, just more places with messages to the char to help better set the mood and at times remind the player of what emotion would more than likely come to mind when entering a certain area . for example when you step into the southern woods you would get the message. "you enter the dark woods with a rustle of leaves beneath your feet, a dark aurora slightly sets in on you and in distance you believe to hear what can only be described as the wailing creaks of bones". I’m not sure really if it could work on the tec side without every time you take a step through the woods you would get the message but I’m sure smart staff would know how to have that done. I’m sure if it seems like to little a task to spend time on me and the other players would be willing to come up with such messages if the staff could actually implement them.

I don't see the great use there.

Everytime you step into the southern forest you get this message? Dunno...

Beside this it gets highly annoying if you walk along the "border" of the forest. Then you get this message with every step of something.

Do it every rot cycle while you are in the area.

Yes, do it once every certain amount of cycles you're there, only if you're near the edge, and maybe have 4 or 5 different messages that could be displayed.

Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be scripting, aren't I, I'm back home... Well, I'm busy, go away *runs*

Maybe just me... but all the messages of "starts to work" etc. including my own is sometimes irritating and also for RP reasons needs to be avoided on occasion, it is too tempting to be walking beside the building and see this then walk in to see who is there .... in a graphic game where stepping into the forest is obviously a different experience, I don't see any point in having another message.
