This week, all players were in for quite a surprise. Thirteen new emoticons were added to the game. As the Elite Guard didnt give away any of the codes, the players had to find them all themselves. Within a couple of hours, the complete list was discovered. Since then, it has been posted in several topics on the forums. If you didnt manage to find the codes, dont worry! Weve added a list of the new emoticons, together with their code, at the end of the article.
Several people were familiar with some of the emoticons, as Andy used some of them before they were added to the game. Andy said, Well when I seen some being added I did make some suggestions and two or three of mine got added. Nyxxie probably influenced the decision whether to introduce new emoticons or not. She said, I think it started when I told BSF that we needed a Shifty Eyes emotion. I was joking, but apparently he wasn't!
The Buzz had a small interview with Sabin as well, to find out why they had decided to introduce new emoticons.
Sabin explained why the new emoticons were introduced. He said, They were added on a whim from BSF2000, who was responding to popular requests that our emoticons be expanded. BSF added several, and I added more after that. So, it appears players were longing for new emoticons, but were the admins? Sabin said, Personally, I am a long-time hater of emoticons in messengers, but I love them on forums. I don't believe that more emotes were "needed", but I do think they add a little more personality to the forums.
He also added that players can still submit suggestions for new emoticons, We would not be opposed to adding new ones, either. Our main request is that they are the same size, shape, and general coloration (with limited exceptions) as our current ones. Players can submit suggestion as Feature Suggestion help tickets.
