Best hate conversation ever

Do you /tell a person or do you /whisper a person?

/t and /tell are both IN the game, but I've never seen or heard of anyone who uses those commands over /w and /whisper.

So is it "Please send TELL?" or is it the sound of a WHISPER? And if you /w me in response, does it count as a tell even though you used a whisper command?

Conundrums.

I use /tell. If people want to use PSW, that's cool too, but it will sound really stupid if people start pswing eachother.

PST predates WoW by far, now is there an older MMO that only had tells in it?

Star Wars Galaxies has /tell only. For years didn't even have /reply nor could you click someones name to send a tell to them. Everytime you wanted to reply or send a tell you had to /tell johnboy. Man that was annoying.

MUDs predate graphical MMOs, and from what I recall most of them used /whisper or /page.

I think I few did use /tell, though. Just because SWG used /tell only doesn't mean they invented it.

I've been using /tell ever since the good ole ROM/RoT muds, and then EverQuest days. Whats this /whisper that some of you people are talking about?

Yes, it did. I played SWG up until I started playing WoW at its release, and even then I continued to play both simultaneously until SOE ruined the game. I was used to referring to "whispers" as tells, and even when some of my guildmates joked about the fact that "WoW isn't SWG" so "it's time to move on and use /w," I refused to make the adaption just because I was comfortable with using tells by this point. (Old habits die hard?)

Now...? I still call it a "tell" and not a "whisper." After four years my friends have finally accepted the fact that they aren't going to change my opinion, and rightly so. It really boils down to personal preference in the end, and no one has a right to dictate which method a player chooses as the game accommodates both options.

Haha, i've been 2 boxing for three days now and until tonight, it had been very quiet and without problems. Tonight, I've been told I've been reported twice and have had a lot of verbal abuse from another guy, claiming that we are ruining WoW. I popped on here to check if anyone else had had similar issues. Needless to say, this post confirmed my fears and made me laugh. Got to love morons

I am not sure what you are saying. I never said it invented it. Someone asked if there was a game that was /tell only and SWG was.

Yes what did? I too still refer to them as tells. When talking with freinds or at work I never say, "Let me whisper you something". I say, " Let me tell you something". lol. Whisper just sounds silly.

Education comes in many forms, and for him it was in the form of a BAN! Aahhahahaah k sorry I'll be mature now... At first I thought it was a joke and he was playing you, the way the conversation went. It looked like he was leading you on, just to waste your time, but then he said "fuck" and I was like LOL YOUR DONE NOW.
