[QUOTE="Magi_Trelian, post: 4952499, member: 36591"] Well, once upon a time the Lounge (or whatever was the log-in room) had OOC chat but people complained about it. :-) Many people liked the ability to come in, sit quiet, and read char descriptions or wait for a friend to show up, without being blasted with a lot of lines of talk. So there's Nexus for OOC talk where people can make a deliberate choice to be in that kind of environment. Having users create new rooms wouldn't buy you anything more than using Carpe or Ahoy unless you also give users the ability to set up room descriptions and that's trickier to grant than just room creation. And who then controls the room? Would other people be allowed to set it up if the original creator wasn't around? Also, just like the current free play rooms, you wouldn't be able to tell if the new rooms were intended for open or private RP unless you PMed one of the people already inside, or risk jumping in and see if you get yelled at. But we are rethinking the other rooms. As Rajak's player pointed out, the Great Bazaar and Cage rooms are open to nearly any type of play but the Sigil-based setting description makes them less welcoming to something like cyberpunk even though allowed. Maybe that will change too. [/QUOTE]
