At one point I'm not really happy with the current chat settings (although, I really do love the prefixes.
I'll describe the 3 biggest points I'm talking about:
- One is that the visual text above the heads is gone very, very fast. I hardly get a second to read it. Combine this with very long texts, you find yourself in more a hassle than you've been before.
- Two is that the text adapts the colour of your name. Now okay, in some occasions this isn't a problem, but fact is that a moderate amount of VIP players sometimes like to take a really dark or bright colour. With the new chat plugin, this causes not only the chatbox message, but now also the overhead text to become impossible to read.
- Three is that the chat's location is extremely dependant of network sensitivity, and the player's movement. I've been only here for half an hour to test it, and I'm already noticing that a lot of texts are quite far off where the person is standing. Either because they were moving, or because the server didn't register the talking person was elsewhere yet.
The prefixes however are really great to have (especially knowing me), though the icons for the ranks seem a bit... out of place. Maybe that's just getting used to it, and I think we all can relate to that little thing.
In any way, I'm really delighted to see that you're browsing through all options first before making a decision

Rewr
Edit: It also seems that icons from items, or chat colour commands, do not appear. Instead the raw® code displays, which will create a MASSIVE line when doing it with lots of items.
