<p>Well, I like play LON and i do it a lot inside the EQ2... I think many ppl here do the same in game. </p><p>The problem is that i like to play in fullscreen and being in fullscreen i can not see the EQ2 chat.   If i get a /tell i do not see and the person who speaks does not know that i am playing LON. </p><p>Would it be possible to put a LON Flag on top of the head of the player like the LFG, LFW, AFK flags? </p><p>Working as a flag AFK If i receive someone tell, this person receive a auto-answer "LON: i'm playing Legends of Norrath and i will send you a tell back as soon as possible" or something similar.</p><p>I think it will help and it's very good to search LON players inside the game <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

<p>Well ... you could type an auto message with /afk. Basically just do: /afk <message></p><p>I think that still work.</p>

Aye, I'd say just do a "/afk Playing LON, will get back to you asap" sort of message.  BTW, how do you get out of full screen LON mode when in playing through EQ2?  Without quitting LON that is... I deliberately play in windowed LON mode so that I can still respond to chat and such, but occasionally when I minimize the LON window it reopens in full screen mode and then I have no way to return it to windowed mode other than closing down LON and restarting.

You hit the ESC key. I wouldn't have known myself if someone hadn't told me.

<p>I know about / afk <msg> But the intention is to have a AUTO FLAG that appear when we start LON. When we quit the game, te flag is put to off. A simple feature like that can be add fast.Use AFK for this is possible, but for those who pass next to me i'm just afk...A LON flag can be a good way to meet people inside the game who play legends of norrath also helping the "social" side.This can also be added a "LON DuelBet" like the common DuelBet with combat. With a LON flag we know who can call for a future game</p><p>It has a very big difference in having a AUTO FLAG "LON" and put a manual AFK with msg.</p><p>   ____________</p><p>We can play in full screen inside the EQ2.  it's the best way to do LON Raids.  to Exit the Full Screen just use ESC</p>

I find that my puter is less taxed if I run LoN in its own window in the background and run eq2 in windowed mode rather than playing lon in eq2. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Best of both worlds. One can even play both full screen and alt+tab between them. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />But the LoN flag would be quite ok. Name (LoN)

Suggestion: Let us turn LoN off, and remove all ads for it.  Also give us a flag that allows us to turn off people using LoN rewards.
