ok so i get this System message saying a GM is going to be on for 15 mins and to whisper him if i find a bot..i TRY to whisper him but it isnt working! so why tell us to whisper your GM if we cant? there are spam bots in Riften right now and i am trying to tell @Gamemaster_Gledii about it >_<

    It's a system message dude. It's just getting the message out there. No harm in spreading the word even if whispers are currently down. Good idea imo and it's good to see they are aiming their attention towards these bots. Once you get out of the starting alliance areas you begin to enjoy spam free zone chat lol. But it sucks that they're ruining the game for the new players who have to witness the spam fest.

    fyi it wasnt "Whispers" that were down...it was the Forum PMs lol..........so i still dont get why i couldnt whisper the GM if we were still able to whisper.

    ok, now I'm really confused. I wasn't sure whether "pm" meant whispers or player-to-player mail in game...now there is the 3rd option of pm's in the forums...which is it??

    and I also saw the message just a bit ago from the gm asking for whispers re:bots.
    This is all part of the game.

    Most likely an auto-mated message to also warn real players in zone that they are about to drop the hammer on some bots, so they can stay clear...until they get pms fixed

    I don't think the private messages referred to in the red box mean in-game whispers - I believe it's in reference to people getting gold spam Private Messages on their forum accounts

    I've whispered a GM in game before it just didn't pop up on my screen as an outgoing whisper

    When in doubt, use /zone to pass your initial message, if they see it - they'll whisper you for follow-on information

    But I know for a fact that in game whispers are working fine

    Try it this way; include the comma after the name

    /w Gamemaster Sunder, bots are at location

    or

    /w Gamemaster Whatevernamehegave, two bots picking instantly respawning jute in front of the Harborage/Davon Falls

    Greetings!

    If you want to whisper a GM hunting bots, you open the chat window in-game and type /tell <Gamemastername>, and your message. So if, for example, you want to talk to Gamemaster Bot-Smasher to help them smash some bots, you type /tell Gamemaster Bot-Smasher,. Don't forget about the comma at the end!

    Also for clarification: The in-game whisper function is not affected by the deactivation of private messages on the forums. Those systems are completely independent from each other.

    Thanks for your help!

    Whisper, tell, whichever you want to use. The comma is the important part. :p
