I don't know what this is, but it sounds very cool.
Was a client set up to follow random players that it thought were in combat or whatnot, and then stream the game to twitch. Bit like an automated spectator mode.

Cool in theory. Except it was by default. And when starting out most would not realize it. So it made you a potential target of being pked. As your wherabouts could be brodcasted.
And i dont think most want that.
Still cool idea for advertising. But at the expense of players safety. Not sure if thats why they took it down or for another reason. *shrugs

There was a 30 minute delay I believe before.

Ya i remember that now. Still a small risk. So why was it removed does anybody know?

Could be a gump upon login: do you want to participate in the action cam for X minutes. After X miutes are up you recieve 100 donation coins or something. Enough to make it worth while, not enough to be overly abused.
If the delay is set right it would also make things less rewarding for people who would only AFK through the action cam since they then could be killed. Idk...
There are ways to handle it smoothly.
Action cam could end if you enter safe zones like WBB or whatever.

It could also give you a warning in game that you are being viewed on the action cam, so you could choose to opt out, or could alter your gaming appropriately, because I suspect that on occasion, when PvP'rs clash, and words get heated, and derogatory, that it could cause some issues seeing someone yelling various slurs at another. Not all advertising is good advertising, and let's be honest, some of us come across as real dill holes sometimes.

You already can control it on or off via [UOF command

@Staff Where did the action cam go?

I totally get that, but there was generally a short delay, to try and prevent that from happening and never lasted on the player that long.

Essentially, the action camera could help advertise as well, I would think. It seems like so many people use twitch. Therefore, it might help attract more new players because the link could be shared on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms out there. Food for thought and why not try to create the system to do the work.

oh that's a shame if that's true, it could be a really cool feature here!

Do it on youtube? Or another streaming service?
smile it's me

I remember that I got hooked here on UOF thanks to that action cam.. was a really cool feature because you can see so much about what happens in the world. for a new player who is thinking about playing here it is all he needs to make a decision

I will also say i joined uof when i saw the action cam. But i also was quick to disable it once i learned how. As even with a delay (which i forget if i knew about back then or knew the delay length) i didnt want to risk being exploited by it.
Streaming is a good way to increase numbers. It would help to have some entertaining players that streamed here if there aren't already.
