Grunt More? Grunt Yes! 07/26/2011 07:20 PM CDT
Hello my Dwarves,

After last week's Dwarven Town Halls, one of the suggestions was expanded grunting capabilities. So I am here soliciting your ideas for new and fabulous grunting options. Either post here, or email me at GS4-Aiza@play.net.

Also, if you have any belch ideas, I'd like to hear them too.

I approve.

I can elaborate on these more if you like, but I think they're pretty straightforward:

Jokingly, expectantly, hesitantly, disgusted, absent-mindedly, excitedly, dramatically, approvingly, envious.. I'll stop there for now.

Also, I think it would be great if we could direct certain grunts towards items which are held or worn by ourselves or other players (similar to inspecting someone's clothing while they're wearing it). I would like to grunt in annoyance at super spammy items that people wear, grunt in admiration at a person's weapon, etc.
