Who else plays by phone? Or how do you play?

[Glaumring the Fox]

I recently started playing by phone . Its nice but effects Rp.

It's convenient when you're on the go, but not much fun for writing anything but brief messages on.

Er, why is this topic on the Dwilight forum?

[Glaumring the Fox]

Oops! Can move if want to. I mainly play Dwilight though.

The mobile site is a huge improvement from trying to navigate the normal site on a mobile browser.

If you aren't using it, you should be.

I do use the mobile website. I use an iPhone, and I find that the 'keyboard' is not very fun to use to type out more than a few dozen words. It's great for checking up on things, reading messages, and setting orders, travel, etc., but I try to avoid sending messages from it.

Where is the link to the mobile website? I use an iphone4 so I just mainly use the web and zoom etc.

I was trying to think of ways to better optimize the mobile experience of playing BM.

Yeah, typing a message of any length other than "very brief" is definitely a pain in the ass. But that's the nature of phones and mobile devices, not any short falling of the site.

It's just http://m.battlemaster.org it certainly helps with the navigation part a lot. Still some small links, etc. But it's better than trying with the classic.

Times like this are when I'm glad the Droid has an actual keyboard and not a touchscreen one. Hah! Score one for practicality.

I use a galaxy S, and I use it often to check messages and orders in the train. Good to here there is a mobile site.

i personally never went along with the mobile phone hype and still have a very basic one, which can... call and stuff, you know, what its for in the first place ;)

But don't these phones have something like dictation software?
On the pc you have Dragon naturally speaking, which works pretty well once you learned your self and the software to get along with each other.
If its also for mobile phones, i'd suggest using that.

Like using a real scribe :D

I've only used my phone to sign in when abroad. I don't really read messages, but simply avoid the inactivity counter :P Though I usually can't resist to at least read some letters. Typing is inconvenient, though.

Can imagine this to create pretty funny situations when your writing an angry letter to some lousy troubling nobles, dictating it out loud in public places. ("...behave properly to your King or you will be quartet and hanged!..."
People will think your psychotic and schizophrenic, perhaps even get scared of you(i would :P).
They'd obviously think your just calling someone.

In a pseudo-medieval lexicon? :P

I've moved this thread to a better place. And I'd like to add that I am very interested in feedback from those who use a phone, iPad, or other mobile device often to play the game, because that number will only increase in the future and the game should be well playable that way.

I've been almost exclusively playing BM from my iPad for three weeks. So far I have had a near perfect experience with the BM site, I didn't know about m.battlemaster.org, I shall give it a spin.
