Sorry, I can't delay it. My agreement with the Minnesota Zoo was that we'd shut down lexicon chat after releasing 2.7. It's already had a much longer run than anyone expected when we made this plan back in 2011, and the only reason it's remained active this long is because it took us forever to finish 2.7.

It's funny, I can only remember lexicon being annoyingly clunky to use and people are sad about losing it? Surely the benefits of the new private game and messaging system far outweigh the loss of another that was outdated. Though maybe to make up for it for the naysayers, phrase chat could be expanded slightly in the future?

Yes, that is true. I can't wait to get the 2.7 version, I'll be downloading it once exam week ends.

It's no use neamera, Snowbee is extremely stubborn and I know her in real life. She has already said that this won't effect her, she said in quote"I'm laughing cuz wolf quest jacked up their game, they dropped a whole bunch of great people, doesn't effect me." Do excuse Snowbee she is not always easy to speak with, but i will deal with her, and get her to apologies, sense her outburst wasn't exactly appropriate. I understand where she is coming from but she should have approached this from a different angel. But I am afraid I won't be playing wq much anymore, sense I can't afford 2.7, but maybe one day I can again...

I see a lot a new people saying this is a bad idea. Now I am upset, but I am not going to lie and say I don't see why. I fully understand why they had to do this. I've been on for 7 years now and yes, the chat was getting way out of hand. I hope that someday we can have it back but maybe have an age limit thing. I don't know.

There are age guards in place now, but we can't guarantee someone won't lie about their age. As I've said before, open games are open games. There''s simply not enough word-wise that can defend open games the way they are, unlike the "enter at your own risk" disclaimer announced by private games. (There's a disclaimer difference just between the two in name alone.) The act of any lying resulting in "accidental exposure" poses more of a problem for open games than private games. We won't always know who is underaged and lies, but it would only take one incident to be troublesome.

As much as I do agree to the abuse and all the point of the game is for education, I feel this site is about to go down. I get on, there's only 1 server, and everyone is talking about leaving. Even though I don't visit as much as I used to, I'm thinking of uninstalling the game and just quit also since there's nothing to look excited for. Sure it' nice to learn about wolves and all but I also would like to make friends. It makes it more fun to learn and also create a friendship with each other. I don't know anything about this Wolfquest 2.7 or something other than it cost money. When you say "affordable" it still says to me "lol you can't buy it". Really hurts to see this is all going down, there's not much left other than the forums. I feel sorry for anyone who paid for the 2.7 and learned that they still can't use Lexicon.

You should accept what you get. It doesn't matter what chat there is, there's a new chat, just look at the private games, you can just gather people and invite them to your game to chat freely. I don't get why people aren't seeing this. Now I'm feeling like people are saying they are leaving because they want the attention and want the game to put lexicon back, even though it is final. It's never coming back. Don't beg guys, it's just a game, it doesn't matter much. It's better than 2.7 not coming out at all.

Okay, so I've been reading this forum a while now, but I still have one or two questions. So the text chat in private games of WolfQuest 2.7 is kind of like Lexicon chat? And are there high chances that this chat will be used for the 2.7 game?
