XPeria Play buttons as status indicator

[JaytB]

I was just playing around with the xperia play buttons I could gather, when I got this incredibly brilliant idea (LOL :) )

How about giving everybody the xperia play buttons, and giving them a meaningful name as status indicator.

As a picture speaks more than 1000 words, I'll keep my comments brief and let the pics do most of the talking.

This would be the 'Don't-Bug-Me-Now' button, or 'busy' button. Why, you ask? Because of the pink color. When I'm merchanting, farming or anything else that involve pink items, I'd like people the just leave me alone :D

The one below would be the 'AFK' button. As the X clearly marks my character as not available IMO

A green up arrow... That couldn't mean anything different than 'I'm up for anything' (pun intended). So people know, they're free to beg, nag or to actually have a nice conversation with you.

The red one.. You're on fire right know, people can only speak to you if they intend to kill something, or be killed. You're in berserk mode right now, and need to kill something as soon as possible.

While the comments were for entertainment purposes only (sorry if that failed), I think you get the general idea.

Please post your comments below :)

I'll be using the "X" as my AFK button. Do not disturb!

Good idea, since I can't really think of any other reason to wear them. Altho one can be for someone who's been muted ;)

Lol there's a fake droid running around.

Nope, a name I didn't recognize (not Varking either). I guess either an alt or someone else who won the contest and woke up from hibernation.

Anyway, I spent a few min looking for the right towns and gave up.

Great idea I would like a "help me on a quest" picture :D

Yh really cool idea! Gonna change my buttons.

I wouldn't use those symbols as a status indicator, but the idea of one sounds great.

This is a great idea. but i would not use those exact statuses for those buttons.
