Essential information?
Is it really necessary to put the "continues" into the chat? Make it screen only text?

Thanks.

EDIT: Yes, this is an actual chat log. True story guys.

This is the best proposal of the century. Auto #mes are annoying.

Currently it is needed. Else there is no indicator if the work is still running.
Its planned to replace it with those small GFX animations aboth the character, but those animations are not in the client yet.

Actually, I just looked it up in the scripts. Alatar is right.

Besides, I would change all "continue"-emotes to whisper informs and add a message when work is done.

#me works on the metal armor, hitting it in gentle strokes to form it into shape.

There's your indicator. Also in smithing the anvil graphic changes.

I don't see why its so necessary for everyone to be informed that the person is working. You can just show that to the person working instead.

The only reason I can tell that you'd need to know someone is working at an anvil, is if you're looking for a smith, but then again why else would he be staring at the static tool repeatadly?
