Siena the Queen: The new Linking System

aoc gold ,Welcome to part 2 of the Siena the Queen blog! Today we will look at the new linking (or you could call a broadcast system as well) functions, another of the new pieces of content which may not be new to the MMO genre but add much needed features to the game. The first feature allows you to mark out specific areas on any map, and send that as a link on the chat. I will try to explain this as best as I can, but you really have to go through the process yourself to understand how simple it is.

1. Open the GPS map by pressing 'M'

2. Find the map and the location you want, hold down the ctrl button, and rightclick on the map.

3. You will see the map name appear on the chat window, as a link. If you press enter to send the chat the link will become visible to other people, for example selecting a spot anywhere in Pontus Ferrum will broadcast 'Pontus Ferrum' as a link in the chat.

4. Anyone who now clicks on that link will have it marked on their map with a green cross.

5. The link obeys the rules of whichever chat you have active when you create it. Guild chat will be visible to your guild only, while using the shout will make it visible to the entire channel.
