Hi.

It's pretty hard for me to answer all of the questions correctly from my phone and with my hotel Wi-Fi.
But I will try to answer some questions.

Crossfaction Battlegrounds
We had itslovelol work on this for awhile, but it was almost impossible to make it exactly as we wanted.
He couldnt code it so that if we had enough horde and alliance que;ing they would play against each other like normal. He could only do it so that it was always horde and alliance in both teams, and we didnt want that. We wanted normal Battlegrounds and not only Crossfaction BGs.

World chat
So you're saying we need a world chat for people that don't know how to open their chat setting or type "join LookingForGroup" ? Well we've had a lot of tickets about them not knowing this, so that might be a good thing.
We havent talked about that in Staff before though from what I can remember.

online list

Arena
I guess it would be okey to make it less than 5 minutes, but The staff will have to talk about it.

Edit: check Henhouse's reply.


Henhouse
Yes I just started doing a lot for Henhouse. Since he's very busy with school and other personal things.
I'm just trying to take some of his back, and to help you guys get an answer a lot faster, because I have more free time(even if I'm still traveling). Even though I now, interview people, do unbans, and answer some email(s). I always go via henhouse, I report everything to him, so it's not that he's in the dark and that I have "taken over".

Going off of that, with my responses:

1. It's not being prioritized, but the version Xios mentioned is what we want, not entirely cross-faction, but a mixture of both. It's pretty complicated to do that, however, which is why it hasn't happened.

2. It's a TODO, but hasn't been prioritized either since LFG has worked for many years. The reason I keep saying not prioritized is because we focus fixing PvP bugs over almost everything these days... and it takes hours and hours and hours of research, testing, trial/error to fix bugs.

3. Xios linked it. I've never been a fan of promoting a list of online people for some reason. I made the feature for those who care to check if their friend is online, but it's not something I wanted to link on the front page. Bookmark it if you wish.

4. Just checked on this, we changed it a while back. It's been a difference of 200, and a 3.5 minute wait for a while now.

It's not about "know how" it's a issue with the Client (german for example), I'm very well Aware how to join LFG but if you teleport to a different area , joining a BG or Arena LFG bugs and I can't neither read nor reply.

Sorry double post. :DD:DDD
