Being able to re-order our characters

Postby Genevieve » Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:06 am

I find that my absolutely BEST FAVORITE MOST FUN CHARRIE is...at the bottom of my page lol. :-) And the one I find in the least-interesting place, is at the top..... so my suggestion is that we can order them ourselves :-) Because I always look at ****** FIRST and would like to just jump right to this charrie when on my phone too....but harder bc I have to scroll down....

Well, I don't know if it would be a priority, not in any way shape or form, but something to add to future to-do unless it is easy??

That would be kind of nice.. I'd like my active characters on the list above less active characters myself

of course, then I'll be disappointed faster when I check only to see no lit-up character....but happier faster when it is lit!!!

I thought about this too some time ago. Maybe we could use credits for this? Since rearranging them is going to take another column in the db.

I dont think we should use credits for this. It's something that makes playing the game easier so I think if this was implemented it should be offererd to all.

Seko, can you explain a bit more why you think credits should be used here? Because it uses additional resources?

theguy, two responses: 1) credits can be acquired by anyone by clicking on the voting links, so it's not exclusive to particular players and thus not unfair if playing is easier; 2) I think it's not quite a major difference in ease of play ;-) ...

its not really.. its just convenient. Either way I'm still playing, hell I was still playing when my pc was freaking out and there was no green. I HAD to check each character because nothing lit up, it was all just basic white screen, black letters

A script (e.g. Greasemonkey) could be used to rearrange the characters anyway.

I don't see why credits couldn't be used for it:
1. credits are free, all you have to do to get them is to vote for Cantr from time to time
2. we don't have any way to spend credits now, so less people are voting to get them, which is bad
3. constant rearanging charries could (?) cause trafic increase on server, so making it cost -anything- would prevent people constant action, just rearanging when they need too.

anyway, we NEED a way to spend credits 8)

Yeah, it would be good to have a way to spend credits now that there's no need to buy minutes. Rearranging characters would slightly improve accessibility but the game is playable even without, and the improvement is so small that cheapskates who can't bother to vote could well deal without. It wouldn't even have to be awfully expensive, maybe 5 credits.
