/quit does indeed take you back to the character selection screen and that is what the camp to character window cuts out therefore saving just a bit of time.

That's the fastest we can go from character to character at this time unless SOE provides another option. Sorry

More details: The camp funtion actually begins a process in which several things happen. Character data is sent to the server and your window placements file is updated at camp. (among a few others I'm sure that I am not aware of at this time)

Oh, and it never hurts to demand more

So there's no way to bypass the camping countdown when you use the character switcher? Also, does it skip saving window positions when you /quit? I very rarely actually /camp.

I'm not aware of a way to bypass camping for switching characters.

I just tested this for sure before answering and it does indeed appear to save window positions when using /quit. (I was wrong

)

I'll look closer at this one and see if it is indeed posible...

a bag with no dead space like the one at http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3477
would be nice.

I agree with you in saying that you can't "skip" the camp countdown. The fastest way I know of to switch characters is to use the "quick switch" mods that I have seen floating around made by Deathbane.

I'm sure you guys know of it, but incase you don't, what it does is camps, and then it skips the character select screen and goes straight to loading the next character. So, 20 seconds to camp, bam, next character loading. I can switch characters in 30-40 seconds depending on what zones I am in.

However, I wonder if it would be possible to incoporate something to do something like...

1) /camp
2) /quit
3) "quick load character" function here

I don't know what exactly the code does that makes it skip the character select screen, but you UI geniuses could probably figure it out and see if it is indeed possible...

The only issue I see is if you /camp then /quit if the /quit overrides the /camp and you get the "link death" issue where you can't log back in for like 3 minutes...

So many issues, so little time for me to figure it out. Maybe one of you guys can get it. If you have any questions, let me know - I'm pretty smart about these kinds of things so I can give insight even if I don't know the hard facts.

Mouse over pictures (or attached pictures) included with Poll questions (here on the website). I wasn't totally sure what you meant by reverse chat - I'm assuming you mean the chat with the tabs on the bottom though - I voted that I don't use those.

I can certainly understand that request but please understand I'm only one guy here and I have a life that needs tending to every so often.

With UI updates, AU uploads, Forum here, Guild, Guild events and website, Real Life, and actually attempting to play EQ2 I have to cut corners somewhere

After all, I'm trying to get rid of the feature to save me time with updates.
I don't want you to see it and say oooo I want that!

ALT+~ toggles the start button.

lol I didn't know about this one.

Man I would love to see this in a separate help text in the GUI that would be awesome.

Another suggestion (if it is at ALL possible). I would like to be able to add my own personal POI's to the map somehow for information that others probably wouldn't care about, but stuff I might use. I'd like to be able to add a unique dot (one that shows it's my own) then be able to add a note to it somewhere within the gui. I'm guessing this sort of thing can't be done though else it would have been done already but it's on of the very few things I miss from WoW.

The other features I miss include:

1. the ability to have a 'scratch pad' I can keep notes on within the game (without having to alt-tab out that is). I used to use it to keep notes on players (kinda like a santa's naughty and nice list).

2. The GUI I was using was able to (somehow) use custom made chat channels to let me know when other players were using the same GUI I was, it also used those same channels to let me send and receive POI's to and from other players. So if I got lost - someone with the same GUI could send me a POI that I could then go too.

I'm not sure how much of that is actually do-able here - but man that would be awesome to be able to do again. That GUI I had used there was called Cosmos - while I know these are two separate games - here's a link to their site, who knows maybe something there might help here?
