I just found out today that it's possible to color text in chat channels. Simultaneously, I was advised that a GM is noting it's an exploit (in Jita local). I'm not in Jita (nor do I have an alt there) to find out; has anybody seen an official post on this being an exploit?

Lol... If this were true, then I think they would have been insta-banned instead of sternly warned like they were in help chat (I saw it too).

It's not really a chat client bug, but seriously dont abuse it or use it.

The method for using coloured text in chats is fairly simple, so it should also be fairly simple to "fix", perhaps a minor update in the next mini patch?

I don't get it, why does CCP care if people can type in color? And how does this work anyway?

It's not an exploit, but intended new feature. It's now possible for players to talk in colors in game.

Can we also get your ability to hide that you edited your post, so we too can pretend that we know how to write properly on the first try?

While I think the colored text is just fine. The fact that you can make the text in such huge fonts is going to be a problem. Right now you can completely flood local with a text size of 200 or so and it's going to be plain annoying. Is this intended?

Probably not, just not thought through by CCP.

Slap me I made a mistake. Typing in colors is considered an exploit. Don't use it.

Perhaps you can now post a sticky regarding this and allow us to use the report ISK feature to report abusers? (also might want to update your previous post).
Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully we will not get to see that many more size 200 pink texts saying we're gay

Are you saying typing in colors on the forums is an exploit as well or do you wish to try again? - It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

So why did you activate a feature that no one is allowed to use anyway? Did you feel you didn't get enough petitions or what?

Years ago in a galaxy far far away, colored text was possible in Eve due to using some sort of unicode type crap (or something along those lines - i can't even remember), but then CCP removed it (I thought). So either it wasn't fully removed, or as I'm guessing due to the timing, the modifications to the UI may have re-enabled the ability.
I don't know why CCP says it's an exploit. Exploit doesn't seem to be an appropriate term if you ask me. But all the same, it's always been against the rules to use text colouring in game. Deal with it.

What gets me is how after being out for years and years, the text editor for in game mail still glitches out and causes random sections of text to move around and jumble up what you're writing.

This is a bug and we are working on fixing it.

Edited by: Ford Chicago on 12/11/2010 13:38:06 It is disingenuous to call using html tags in a text window an "exploit".
Call it a bug, call it a mistake, say you're sorry and urge people not to do it. But using a html tag to change the size and color of your text should *not* be considered an "exploit" which is by definition a bannable offense.

Let me get this straight, CCP is only allowing ONE COLOR and only certain hand chosen sizes in chat? sounds racist to me!
