What emotes would you like to see added the most?

I would like to see /cry personally... I love crying with my weaker characters...

Well it's not high on my list of things the game has to have, but the quality with which the dance emotes were implemented just makes me want more. How about some Dahler Mendi all up in here?

They really need to add an emote that lets you define your own, such as making your character write (MyCharacter shakes his head in dissaproval) when you type /shake. They would be custom for each character. Many online RPG's have this feature already, and it's very useful for roleplaying.

I'm tired of my monk looking so stoic - I'd like to see a /smile emote or /angry emote.

Knock down target FOO-EL who is pissing off the district.
Would probably require approval by other people in the district, after all he would be knocked down and SILENCED for 30 seconds.

Hey I like this one.
Requirements: 50% of district population to implement.

We'd see spammers shut up real quick.

They don't even have /nod! Can you believe it? Or /tap for "taps his/her foot impatiently" I use these emotes a lot even though they don't exist.

Also, it'd be nice if they had multiple commands for an emote. That way it's easier to guess what the command for a particular emote is.

This can fall under custom word filters...like we have our own list of "bad words" that blank out the whole line its in. that would rock.

But that would make death farming so much less fun

I'd like /wink, /cry, and /grin emotes.

AFAIK you can do that on Anarchy Online when you're stuck. Takes a minute though. I'd love to see that /suicide takes 5 seconds and you see that text beforehand, then see the health (that was current on that character) go to 0 and see it drop dead on the ground, and gain a penalty, EVEN IN TOWNS!!

Make /afk working and set character status to away...

The /mug and /love stuff is really missing...

/emote <name> should work and displayed properly...

Finally:
/favour or something to request the recent favour state...

Also running in circles on the floor like Homer Simpson,

/kiss , Blows a kiss to nearest player.
/hug player-name , hugs the player with that name. (like in sims.)
/tag player name , tags the player with that name, only works if player in range.
/down , character lies down, staring to the sky.
/spin , character spins round till dizzy. (screen gives similar effect as when drunk, but for shorter time frame)

How many of you have ever typed "shrug"? It's sad they don't have that one in there. Probably would be the most commonly used emote.

Wow...... That makes me feel like I should never be a warrior, and thats a bad thing when you need warriors. But anyway, /stressed emote would tell people to stay away, plus a /killidiot (name) emote for those idiots messing up the mission. And most of all, /baseballbat emote to beat whoever is the town idiot, beating the person up with a baseball bat. Or maybe I should stop playing GTA.

Anyone notice that the male necro only looks away when you /pickme?

I have my emotes tab turned off cause I don't dig the text. I like the /wink idea. If you could target a player & have a headshot inset into their screen showing your character wink at them, even better. Sort of like a tv news anchor inset. Maybe a little overboard, I don't know. (I think this would have helped during the Dwayna/Grenth event, better than the text flashing across the screen that no one seemed to read. Back on topic...)

/punch
/kick (sooo many times I wanted to do these emotes)
/poke
/cry
/embarrased
/huh?
/rolleyes

But yeah.../punch and /kick definitely need to be implemented

Some comic reliefs would be good. How about something that would look like the person is casting a mighty spell then having it implode into a puff of smoke, leaving the character dumbfounded and blankly staring in confusion. I guess it'd be something like /dispel.

Since theres rock paper scissors, how about dice? (ONE WITH AN EMOTE, I KNOW THERES ONE IN GAME) when you type... /rolldice .It shows an emote of the person crouching down and rolling two dice, then it posts the two he or she got. Example: Johnny Longfellow rolls dice getting 3 and 6 .It'd be good for gambling and betting, just a variation if people who don't care for rock paper scissors.

Also something like /gaze where the character holds his or her hand over his eyes to block the sun staring out, kinda like a ranger would do, glancing over the horizon.

Another form of taunting would be a good emote, called /boast. For example a warrior would spin his sword casually then clank it on his shield, these would be more serious emotes then taunts and less childish. A necromancer would curroptly wave his staff through the air leaving an eirey glowing green flame from the head. A monk could do something like a medidation stance and begin to levitate (Although that is a bit iffy), you get the idea though.

My last idea is my best I'd say, a pose for every class (For pictures). It'd be /pose, each class would get one, for example a warrior would stab his sword into the ground with both hands gripping the hilt and the shield on his forearm. (I could come up with an idea for each class but, thats too much typing)
