They're not "emotions". They're "emotes", as in, to emote, which, for those of you with less than stellar vocabularies, is used to mean to dramatize or act emotion. The term itself grew out of MUDs giving players a specific "emote" channel for them to act actions out through (which is actually how CoX does it as well) with specific commands pre-macrod in for quick reaction (rather than typing "/em $name is in love with $target.", you would instead be able to type "em love $target").

On another note, "emoticon" is a completely different term that grew out of keyboard based chatting rather than online, text-based roleplaying and is a portmanteau for the term "emotive icon".

If there were to be new dance emotes for the game, I would vote for long animated ones. Even though with time and resource constaints would produce less emotes, it would be nice to have animations of well-known or simply entertaining performances that span more than one 2-second loop cycle, maybe even cycling through a few different motions before the necessary loopback.

Think of it like doing the macarena, you do all the arm emotions and then you turn 90 degrees, you do the arm emotions again but you're always doing that finishing 90 degree turn, the animations loops when your model returns to facing front again. That one is just a simple example of the same thing done in different directions, but dancing is more than just one move repeated over and over again.

I'd personally like to see unique dance emotes for each male and female AT. This seems to be a staple of most MMOs and I really like it.
