It's come to my attention that many users are spelling 'architect' wrong and then asking "Why can't I get to Archi?"

This gave me an idea although I doubt whether it will work.

If we could have anotoher way to access Architect and Architect2 through abbreviations we may be able to make the maps easier to access as you wouldn't have to spell the whole name.

e.g.)
/g arc1 (architect)
/g arc2 (architect2)

I can't see a clear black and white reason as to why we would have to do this but it would make it easier for the architects to access the relevent maps.

I agree, its very annoying to type that long name just to find i misspelled it -.- also for players whose mother tongue isnt english, this would be helpful.

takes about .3 seconds to type architect. . . you can always just type /g archit but you have to do/g architect2 which doesn't take that long. They can also do /levels to see the available levels and see how it is spelled or just simply type /whois or /who. It isn't that they don't know how to type it it's that they aren't using the resources given to do it.
It could be done rather easily but there isn't really a huge reason to do it.

Pretty much not needed. For the amount of trouble, going through the coding process, and releasing a new update software just to help people who can't spell a word they regularly use just isn't worth the time or effort.

However, there is a function used to find maps from the string... IE: '/g arch' will move you to Architect. '/g block' will move you to Blockmason. '/g gue' will move you to Guest. Teach people these, it'll help everyone.

Unfortunately maps with digits at the end, like builder2 and architect2, will require the full name, otherwise it'll head to the first found map of the string, which would likely be builder, and architect. The only workaround for this would be to rename the maps to be '2builder' and '2architect' in which case you could use the short strings of '2bui' and '2arc' to get there.

I see that a lot, when people forget the slash when teleporting to someone or something like that, I find they always spell the full name, which isn't needed, unless 2 people have similar usernames. I thought most people shortened things, but I guess not...
