How on earth can you have a 'wait' feature in an mmorpg? Single player, yes, because you are the only active player, but it would be nonsensical in an mmorpg where the entire world is still going on around you.
Im not sure what younare asking... If its a pause button you mean, there is t one. You cannot habe a pause button in an mmo because you are not the only person logged into the server and you cant pause the game for everyone logged in because just no i have to afk a lot and i usually end up dead if in midfight, thats just how mmos work unfortunatley
Sometimes pause would be nice especially when my wife wants to have a conversation and there are like 10 NPCs trying to kill me. But I understand it is an MMO. Just saying it would be nice
This whole thread made me laugh. Thanks, I needed that.
To the OP: I get the whole spouse aggro thing, but you DO realize that it's an MMO, don't you, and therefore cannot be paused? It's like the difference between a pre-recorded TV show and live TV. And don't anybody get all smart and bring up those DVRs that claim to "pause live TV." I'm saying that if you're sitting in the audience at a live TV show taping, you can't pause it.
In that situation, you have to escape from combat and run to a safe place to idle or to logout.
