Okay, well I haven't been lurking that long so if this or something like it has been suggested before I apologise. Basically a queue is like a group but you don't have to leave your group to join a queue. The commands I was thinking of would be:

/Queue.........................................................Listsusers currently in YOUR queue if you have one OR your place in the queue if you have joined one

/JoinQueue %name%(or target).................Sends Join request (Like a group request)

/LeaveQueue %name%(or target)...............Leaves queue of named character or all queues if none specified

/ClearQueue.................................................Used by a character for whom people are queueing, kicks them all.

You could have a system message come up on the screen to say either you're first in the queue or for the person being queued for, tell the who is now first in the queue. players in the queue could also have a number beside their name to denote their place in the queue.

I was thinking since we can't trust the order of banktips anymore to keep track of what order to treat people this could e an alternative. I expect it could also be used by smugglers or anyone else who might have a number of people waiting for their services.

What do you think?

Well yes, of course I agree. It's more of something to add to a wish list if you like.

It does seem strange that a change is introduced which casues problems and whenever asked to change it back we're told its complicated to do (bank transfer mails). I would be happy with a firm date for it being fixed, even if its not very soon being told it will be fixed by x would be better than the feedback we're currently getting.

Oh, here's another suggestion, if bank Transfer mails said money has been transfered etc etc and then "Your bank balance is now: " and the amount in your account. Since that data MUST be available and tied to the name the mail was sent to it would be impossible to fake since no one knows the exact amount in your account.

Obviously this still means you have to open the mail rather than being able to tell from the subject line but come on, it can't be THAT hard to do. Not as difficult as creating a whole new speeder for example.

So if I understand correctly this would just bea list feature for us Docs so we can keep track of who is next in line when we have lots of people requesting our services.

If so.

I do like the idea and it would be nice, however if it was me making the decissions on where to put effort. I would definately work on some of the other issues that are important to us Docs.
