Change in relationship building

Upgrading relationships

OK, so this is something I noticed and was thinking about over the last few weeks. If you meet someone and add them as say a friend, the only way to change it to lovers is to end the friendship, wait for them to acknowledge, then send them a request to be lovers. (And the same for lover to spouse). How about an up/down grade button. Here’s how I see this working:

Friend
Upgrade
Cancel

Lover
Upgrade
Downgrade
Cancel

Spouse
Downgrade
Cancel

When the request is made, the other party must agree to it so like “Your friend has asked to upgrade your relationship to . Do you accept?” or something like that and similar for downgrading.

Does anyone else agree with this? Has a request like this already been made?

It's a great idea but would be nice to have a comment from dev team coz I think the actual relationship system doesn't allow changing status online, ergo it would need a complete code rewriting.

At the moment, if i wanna change the relationship status, i'll do it when we are both online, to semplify the procedure.

it will be nice a fast way to upgrade it, but at last your partner have to agree anyway, confirming he*she want it too.

here's the actual procedure for upgrade a relationship :

1- Send the cancel request
2- The recever must relog and read her/his messages for it to be valided
3- The sender must relog
4- One must send the request for the new relation ( lover/spouse )
5- the recever must relog , read her/his messages and accept the relation
6- the sender must relog and read her/his messages ( not sure this one is needed)

Yes I am aware that is the CURRENT method, my suggestion is to make it so that we don't have to completely cancel first because that is a lengthy process and not everyone pays attention. Great example, I sent a message to a person about wanting to upgrade and cancelled….they saw the cancel before reading messages, yelled at me, and put me on ignore…an hour later the messaged me saying they just read the message explaining that i wanted to upgrade.

Yeah that can happen but luckyly in the end it all sorts out, so my suggestion while we wait for an easier method to upgrade is always to upgrade while the other person is online, that way it's really easy, cancel, log out, log in new request, done.

Change in relationship building

Something I found out recently when a friend sent me a request to change the relationship we had.

It is not necessary anymore to have to wait for your friend to read the cancellation message, when you want to change the form of relationship you have with that person. You can now simply cancel the current relationship and immediatly after that choose the new form of relationship. The friend the request was sent to, will receive the new request instead of a message announcing the cancellation.

This is a huge simplification of the current system and I want to thank the dev-team for making it possible. The other way was a lot of hassle and caused a lot of confusement.

I’ve asked Lover to change it in the FAQ and the quick start guides, but also wanted to inform the members of forum. Please, spread the word to those who don’t read the forum. 🙂

You are right, Tight….i had noticed it recently but i had forget to post it here! sooo needless! 

[Lover]

I updated the FAQ – thanks Tight for your info.

And this is a really fine change !! Thank you AChat's Gods for this !!!

Be able to upgrade ( or downgrade ) relationship is very useful !!!

Eve, the only reason to “downgrade” (wow, this word sounds horrible!) is cause you are breaking a relationship……and i think there is no reason to move from lover to friends or, more worst!, from spose to lover! it will mean the magic is ended and, honestly, i prefer a complete break!

[Rukya]

hmmm i know with who i will try this new system 

[Brandybee]

Thank you Achat Gods … makes things a lot easier  … and to Tight for noticing & posting  the info

Achat  Gods, would you  also consider putting a direct link for the Forum in charachter editor, like you have with the Shop and making the Register button bigger & more obvious on initial joining … TY

hb I have dongraded … many find involvement with others,…and just because our interactions are now chat doesn't mean they aren't my friend… they always will be .

Well I didn't “downgrade” anybody by myself ( just mentioning the possibility to do ), but I was, once from Lover to Friend, with an explanation of why. And it was fine by me.
I mean, we sometime make mistakes ( in fact I do ) about relationship, or the feeling a relationship may be. So with explanations to the person, it is quite easier with the new system than previously, to update a relationship without cutting all the link.
So, even I too dislike the word “downgrade” ( But I was not able to find a better one ), I maybe , a day, use this possibility, not without chat and explanations of course, just because sometime a once Lover reveal only to be a Friend.

I also agree you, than in case of rupture, I prefer a complete break … But I don't agree you : there is many reason to update relations…

Please accept my best humbly regards
