The Communicator

Getting yours

Marsh keeps a Communicator for you at the Nova Reach Welcome Center. New players get the offer after trying any one first-day activity. If you've been around a while and never picked one up, it's waiting at the desk. Say Not now if you like, and it stays there until you want it.

Once it's yours, Marsh's first message will be waiting.

Contacts

Marsh is your first contact. As you get to know more people around Veloris, they can become contacts too, and each one introduces themselves with a letter. During some events, you can also swap Communicator codes with someone in person.

Your conversations live in Inbox → Messages, under the Communicator filter. A contact writes first at most once a day, around 9 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, or 6 in the evening, Eastern time. Quest offers arrive here too. The top of a thread shows whether someone is available, and Mute in its menu quiets a conversation.

Charges

The prepared questions above the message box are always free. A message you write yourself uses one freeform charge. You can hold 5 charges, or 15 with SensiFan, and one comes back each hour.

The Communicator icon at the top of a thread fills up as charges return, and its tooltip shows your count and when the next one arrives. Not everyone takes freeform messages; with those people, prepared questions are how you talk.

Who writes the replies

When you write your own message, the reply is usually written by AI in that character's voice, and it's marked AI-written beside its time. The note under the message box says so too. Answers to prepared questions, and the letters contacts send first, such as quest offers, are prepared text.

Characters stay in voice, but if you sincerely ask whether you're talking to an AI or a real person, an AI-written reply should say plainly that it's AI. If a reply misses the mark, report it with the flag beside it.

Let characters recognize you in Settings → Privacy decides whether the AI gets your display name, your standing, and what that character remembers about you. How Sensipets uses AI explains the rest, including how replies are checked.
