    Maybe I missed this, but I can't find a setting that would prevent friends and guild members from getting a notice of when I login and logout. In my experience I noticed that everyone can see that even in solo player online.

    I am a very private person in RL and it is common that I want to pop in for a daily without having to tell everyone that I am only on for a short time.

    I would REALLY appreciate a little privacy so I don't have to feel guilty for pushing people away.

    How about options to set busy, away, available, and leave note to player? That way if you can't talk atm or don't want to talk right now you don't miss anything.

    this has been asked for before, and iirc i got the general sense that the devs agree but it's a low priority.

    Yes I asked about this when I first started the game.
    I was told there is no way to do this was was ridiculed for even asking.

    ahhh sorry, well what I see over and over is sometimes it is not the right time in the games development and then later it is, so who knows just don't give up on your great ideas is my opinion ;)

    I believe it is still considered, it's just a low priority right now. Thank you for bringing it up again!

    Although this is low priority and I do understand. However, the need to relax in privacy is a very strong need so I hope the ability to have the option to walk down a path alone at times (not all the time just some of the times) would be greatly appreciated in our game.

    LOL! It's a hockey term. Not that I play hockey - I just have ample hips and know how to use them :p

    That's the beauty of playing a game. It's an escape. When the escape comes with obligations it start not being a game. I'm right there with you. Some times I want to do my own thing without a "why"

    Agreed!

    Really wish we had a stealth option. I love some of the friends I have made in this game, but sometimes I just want to play undisturbed without offending or ignoring people. ;)

    I am always online. In the shadows. Watching. Waiting...

    That said I support Tahru's request and think it is valid. :D

    This seems to be a reasonable request to me -- like going "anonymous" - just not sure what would be involved for the dev team to implement it.

    Hopefully it can be added to their list (if not already there) and made available before official launch -- along with Hide Helm!!! :D:D
