    hey all!

    this suggestion is pretty self-explanatory and there's not much to it but i was talking to krissy about this earlier, and i was thinking, it might be nice to have rank prefixes in the /msg and /r commands, i've inserted some image examples of a before/after of the messages :-)

    BEFORE: (without suggestion)

    AFTER: (with suggestion)

    let me know what you think!
    thank you :D

    Edit: Redstone presented the old colours we used to have, which i believe might also be quite a nice change (see below) :)

    I do kinda miss these colorful days. The red names always felt a bit aggressive ever since the change.

    I would also love in addition to this, as shown in the screenshot, to use their /nick instead of the full ign too.

    thank you both :)
    I definitely agree with you here, I believe not only would it be nice to have the prefixes back but it would be a nice refresher having the old colours back. Thank you! (p.s. edited this into the thread :heart:)

    We had to remove this when we added network-wide messaging, as prefixes are different on all the gamemodes, especially on Mineverse.

    Yes I know I just always like seeing actual reasons behind a no support whether it be a good one or not

    I was given the clear from a staff to bump this suggestion! Has there been any attempts to implement this since? I support this however and it would be great to have this messaging system back

    OK I don't know why I haven't seen this suggestion before but here's my neutral;

    I absolutely miss the message prefixes and I wouldn't mind seeing them again. However, I often had the experience of not being able to recognize someone properly by their nickname and had to go through /re to find out. Actually I've always had to do this because using /r otherwise often ends up at the wrong person. And say you get anything like a chat offense in your messages you don't need to go through the trouble of finding the name especially when that player logs off. So in terms of looks this suggestion wins my vote, but I also like it as it is now for its convenience.

    i agree with this too, plus with people having the chance of multiple nicknames, changing their nick mid message, and using annoying colors in their nick before messaging, it would just be a genuine nuisance.

    I like the red now personally - it stands out among the flood of colors in Skyblock - I feel if it was to be changed a lot more messages would be missed when ignoring the flood of casino ads

    When the message colours changed this was the first thing I thought of! I miss seeing everyone's colours when they message me and I also think it's beneficial for players to know if it is a staff member messaging them (for example verbal warnings etc.) Support from me :)

    I think these problems could be averted (if the suggestion is implemented) by having usernames in messages operate the same way they do when people post in chat - hover over the nick and it shows their IGN.

    Support! Love the idea, and it helps since sometimes its confusing who you are getting the message from when their name shows up one way in msg and another way in normal chat. Helps with Staff too!
