Typed Emotes.

I'll make this quick.

You know how if you type:

Red: [text]

It outputs red text?

Instead of finding the emote icon, they could give us an option to type:

Laugh: [text]

This would make you able to laugh while saying the word.

Or "laugh:" to just laugh.

Etc.

Too many icons in the emote list, but you get what I'm saying.

I made a list of some concepts


Jump for Joy -> Jump
Blow Kiss -> Kiss
Goblin Bow -> Gbow
Goblin Dance -> Gdance
Glass Box -> Box
Climb Rope -> Rope or Climb
Glass Wall -> Wall
Slap Head -> Slap
Bunny-Hop -> Bunny
Snowman Dance -> Snowman or Snow
Air Guitar -> Guitar
Safety First -> Safety
Give Thanks -> Turkey
Around the World in Eggty Days -> Around
Dramatic Point -> Point
Puppet Master -> Puppet

 

Great idea! I would suggest posting this on the official rs forums.

 

This might actually get somewhere if it was on the runescape forums.

 

::red, not red:
But great idea

 

It's actually Red:

Lol...

 

Yes, it was ::red on RSC.

 

No. It was @red@ on RSC. I have a huge problem with people from 2008+ pretending to have played RSC. Go on somewhere.

@OP: Good idea, I guess. I don't really use emotes, ever. Not even the skillcape one. I just wanted to prove a point.

 

Cool idea.

Makes me think of WoW and /lol and such.

 

thats pre smart man well done
