Can you implement a command where we can view sparring queues in Guild Spar rooms and Single spar rooms. I usually go afk between spars waiting so it would be nice knowing how long it is till it's my go. But can it be a command where you receive a PM from a NPC so you can constantly look back on it instead of retyping the command.

Still would not help much time wise, there's no set limit on how long a match will take it depends on the two players and how they spar, some will go by fast and some won't so it will not be able to tell you exactly when you're up.

I feel like having the server constantly send out PM's to a mass amount of players would cause a bit of lag, not too hard to just keep checking up on the screen to see if you're up or not.

SPARS
Using World of Warcraft Arena style. We should queue through menu and have to press enter when you found ur opponent. What this does is, it prevents boosting or selective sparring. Easier to monitor in admins perspective. You won't randomly lose cause you AFK, you have 10 seconds to press enter when you are up for spar.

^ if we use WoW frame, it won't take long to find your opponent and you won't get a loss for AFK, cause you have to confirm 'yes' before you get warped. there are going to be 8 arenas surrounded by 1 monitoring room (Like a event 'Chance' room). So it's simple to manage and be monitored by an admin. Main purpose of this idea is to prevent boosting & selective sparring. people that tries to avoid sparring delayers will definitely hate it.

Honestly this wouldn't be very hard to make but with people constantly leaving after they join without a real time way to view it I can't see it being useful with a PM method. Unless you are going to check it after every match which defeats the purpose.

Yeah but I'm not sure if others do but whilst im queuing i'm doing other stuff e.g. reading pms, or just something not related to Graal. Waiting is boring and so that's why I do it but knowing when I appear in a queue will comfort me as when I refer back to Graal to check if I'm sparring or something I can just check queue to see if I'm near.

Also it wouldn't constantly be sending out PMs. Only when prompted. But if it's such an issue just have a script which says the current queue but due to the writing make it condensed and you can expand to view the full queue if you double click it or something it's just a rough idea.
