It seems that this feature is not working as it is described. It does not seem to work with other Faction members unless you are in the same area. |

Can you test this more? I've checked the code. Area simply doesn't come into it. It does a standard GetFirstPC/GetNextPC loop, so location isn't considered. |

How it's supposed to work anyway? No one of faction members I know get anything when I try sending out the alert. It seems I just waste 100 gold pieces on nothing. Could it be related to status of Faction Badge? Is my badge broken? |

Check your badge, use it on yourself, see if it reports your faction correctly. I might be on a bit myself as DM, i can see if i can coordinate a few people to make a better test. What i do know is that it did work in testing and i checked the code and things look fine (although looking at your own code everything of course always looks fine). |

Checked the status of Faction through badge. Looks like it's fine. |

I used it with Ra'zeth (also Fated Factotum) in a different area from Rainbow and she didn't get my ping either. |

Same here (Fated namer), tried the call with Rainbow and none of us could receive the message from the other, no matter the area we were in. |

Have you tried with a Faction that doesn't habitually rob people? |

And does the feedback say whether other people were informed? Which message do you get? 1) Your call went out, but doesn't seem likely anyone heard 2) Your call went out, and a fellow factioneer or two may have heard. 3) Your call went out, and its likly that a factioneer will respond. |

Thank you for checking this out! In my case, I received the first message, though I must say that I do remember the feature working quite fine until a couple of months ago, it is only recently we started noticing we weren't actually getting the alerts anymore! |

Hmm.. strange, because i didn't change anything to do with this since it was initially set up. |

And are people 100% certain it works if you are in the same area? |

It got me the same text (option 1) and little else, no matter whether anyone was in the same area or not. The other members get nothing when call gets out. I know for certain that months ago, this feature worked. Not entirely sure how, but it looked like it worked. While it looks like low priority maintenance, I feel need to remind that having more IC ways to contact the other players to facilitate Faction RP rather than through Tells would help the player experience and overall quality of Faction RP. Even if some individuals never use it. |
