Type ";invis off"

[Cantatus]

Guildmate posted this on our guild board, not sure where she found it:

Hello All,

After yesterday's patch, by default, you are now ALL invisible to EQIM, so, if you want your friends to be able to see you online, you need to type ;invis ingame so that you can make yourself visible/invisible. This command works as a toggle so that you can use the same command to invis/uninvis.

Sorry for the confusion. Special thanks to "TheNexus" for bringing this to my attention.

Yea, I love the fact that now all my friends have to do something on their end so that the piece of software I use will work. :P Not many of them use the IM, heck I only know one or two other people who ever do. Seems to me it would have made more sense for it to default to visible and note the command to make yourself invisible in the patch message, as someone else suggested on the tech support boards. But that note from the devs seems to say they're not going to do that. It's going to be more trouble than it's worth to chase everyone I know down and get them to use the command. All I'll use the IM for now is channels. :roll:

An additional problem from reading the dev boards is that if you log out, or switch characters or equivalent, you have to type ;invis again...

That is REALLY annoying if you do lots of transfers like I do *sigh*

[Verdandi]

It resets when you log?? Oye...

*takes the lightbulb from Verdandi and screws it into the socket for her*

*unscrews the lightbulb, puts it in an envelope and sends it to Verdandi*

From the Tech Support boards:

Well your requests were taken into consideration and the development team has set it so you are visble by default again.
A team is still working to update the Serverinfo.xml file with the new servers and corrected information, so that should be working soon.

Thank you for your suggestions!

/cheer

Did they kick that in with the latest patch? /hoping

[Verdandi]

Yep, it's working now. I actually discovered it for myself when I logged on the IM, and then went over to the Tech Support forums to see if they'd made any official statement on it. I wanted to be sure it wasn't just a trial thing or even unintentional hehe.

I've been using it just for chat channels, but now it's good for tells again. Yay!

Nice... Glad to see they got that fixed...

Now, will someone please tell me why in the blue, er, heck, it still shows Tarew as down???

Bah! I guess I got what I paid for with that download.

They also said somewhere or other that they're still working on issues with some of the servers. New one(s) need adding and Quellious has never worked, etc. But they appear to have it on the list to get fixed. And they can patch the IM any ole time, so the fix might come sooner than patches.
