MR App Started by: Gawain on Feb 16, '15 09:30
I am probably not the first to think of it nor the last, but I wonder how many have or would like to have a mr app to join/log into everyday, it cuts through having to use Internet routes etc. it's quick, fast, and all that you would need. Just would like to hear thoughts from all including admin hearsay on the issue please and thanks.

I think they had talks about this, but the main response is just too go on the internet and log onxD And you have to have a budget for a app.

Report Post Tip

with the amount of cash flow for credits, i dont see an issue

Report Post Tip

The cash flow for credits goes to support the site, ie; paying the coders, paying for the servers, advertising, ect. While most of us are in agreement than an app would be fantastic, there are other things to be worked out first.

I would personally like to see something along these lines happen. The mobile version of MR can be quite clunky and very difficult to navigate on a small touchscreen device. It's also difficult as all hell to write out anything other than a couple of words as a response/reply to something, which can be particularly inconvenient, especially when you have a higher volume of mails throughout the day to deal with. I think an app would be fantastic if it was financially viable.

I second that^

What features make the cut, and what features should be left out?

Of the ones that make it, what should be changed to work better that would not apply to the desktop version?

And of the ones that we are removing, what is the logic you used for that decision, and how is the site better off with it removed on the mobile version?

The more you think about it, the harder those two questions get. Things just keep pointing towards modifying the existing site to be more mobile friendly. We are currently in the process of hiring a UI/UX person whose one of their very first tasks will be to address this very issue. My ears are open and the timing right, so anyone who wants to go through every aspect of the site and answer the questions above, their input would be key in the decision to do an full fledged app or just a mobile friendly skin.

Can we put Lotion on this skin?

As long as it doesn't cut back on roleplay, would be a key to keep in mind when thinking of what to keep and what to ditch. It's already gearing a lot toward click and play users, and a lot less toward the posting side of things.

The thing is if it keeps becoming geared toward mobiles it will automatically lose in the roleplay area. I just hope this doesn't happen, as posting and writing quality posts is something that adds to the depth of the roleplay. Whenever I speak to someone about roleplay and they are on a mobile device, the phrase continually pops up along the lines of 'wait till I'm on my computer, so I can actually post something.'

I understand things are becoming more technologically advanced in these areas and the site must keep up with the times, yet an app imo makes me think automatically that roleplay will slide even more out of peoples minds and become even less focused.

Will it change how I play the game if things become more mobile friendly? Not at all, yet it may just shift the environment itself to be less forum friendly.

This would be great too have a app

I think it would be an amazing idea, Totally agree

I play this game via my phone Samsung Galaxy S3 and to me it feels like an app as I can see everything and it all fits perfectly on my screen but with the app many things can go wrong like the loading and if its to much it might even crash and then you'llhave to unstall the app which would be a waste of time but I do prefer it on the internet as its much more easier

I agree with Darren_Kray. I sometimes play on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) and I have no trouble at all.

Also if you make it into an app I personally feel it will not give you the full experience of the game.

 

I would like an app for Personal Events so we know if we get shot or mugged like you have for IRC, you know just an alert saying hwat has happened.

Mobile site does just fine for me. Hell, up until about four years ago, there was no other option. I remember skipping classes just to focus on my character over a decade ago. The mobile access is nice, an app I believe would cut down on interactions and just be a petty tool.
Report Post Tip

AnthonyLaPaglia I couldn't agree more with you there, if there was a full app it would just turn into people using it as a petty crimes tool. I really so believe thing that an app that will only tell my about your personal Events (I.E. if you get shot, a WS ect.) or that we have mail from someone.
