To solve my bardless boredom I decided to check if yee old method of making 'Socials' button text look like a link carried over to Shards of Dalaya. Seeing as it's all clientside it worked suitably for a minor demonstration, though I can't find any way to divine the actual item codes without doing something definitively beyond the rules. I asked if the practice was frowned upon and had uncertain, generally disapproving replies. A GM instructed me to ask about it on the forums.
Is making in-game text look like this illegal? There's no serverside manipulation, no data mining and nothing particularly obtrusive (unless one chooses to see it as such). If someone is using illegal methods to put an actual link behind it they could quickly be spotted and excised. It's quite easy to do, although I can't access the .ini file without logging out of the game and shutting down my client so it's somewhat cumbersome. In fact if it proves acceptable I'll gladly share the necessary prerequisite on the forums since it's fun and fun should be shared
If not we can all forget about it and peacefully go on our merry way.
