Re: Why does OTM hate commas?

Something about how one of the funders was assaulted by a group of them in the days of his youth. Ever since then he had a vendetta against them and vowed to never allow use of them in game. Was on their website a few years back.
Wow thanks, this clears everything up.

But seriously, OTM needs to use commas on any number 10,000 and up. This would help tremendously with the auction, trading and even NPC shops when it comes to reading gold amounts.

Seconded! The squint and use a thumb to cover three digits at a time so I can tell if it is 1,000,000 or 100,000 is really getting old.

+100000000 (And to clarify, that's +100,000,000)

If there is some problematic programmatic reason for boycotting commas, then an additional line displaying a friendly version of the number (such as 100K, 2M, etc) would also be nice!

Also (to politicize this) we could consider this a jobs-creation measure, because if implemented, thousands of out-of-work commas would find themselves suddenly employed!



Commas are people too! :shock: :?

While we're on the topic, please add an option for scientific notation!

It's difficult for the scientist playerbase to quickly translate from scientific notation to (un)comma'd notation while the tensile stress machine does its thing... 1420000 can easily be rewritten as 1.42e6!

*just kidding regarding the scientific notation -- completely support comma'd notation!*

Even if it's the European standard of using periods and commas differently, at least it would make it more readable.

Pick one from this list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
