Player List Not Showing?
« on: May 04, 2013, 03:43:48 PM »
The list of players when you go onto the server no longer shows up. Any reason for that? I use it to find out who is about and whether or not to log in. No world ending thing though.

pls and thnx

Most players play more that one character. And each character is caught up in different rp with different people. Knowing what characters are online will make it easier to log the characters we would like to play depending on who is on. Removing such added the tedious and annoying thing called relogging. Why remove the player list from the log screen?

I agree.

I want to fiddle as little as possible by login in and out. The game already hates me and gives me instability problems like mad. :(

It is not planned as such, but depending on how things solve the lagg/instability issues we will see... This is not an official statement, rather its an observervation based on the fact that lag/instability prevention is more important than convinience when it comes to finding the right chars

Yes Yes not to mention one of the larger weight loads (clock cycles etc) on a server is the client server connection. [ nod nod ]...

Not to mention that not knowing other people's class and level adds another layer of anti-metagaming protection/immersion, depending on each one's view. I would like to see the player list containing only the names of the PCs if it were to return, without anything else as information.

We used to have classes listed but that's a long while ago then we had names only

Really bothersome to actually load the game load the server then load into the server to find out if those you wait for or wishing to rp with  or no dm listed either.

Frustrates me more then that I find it a mystery I ain going to a parry without knowing either the line up or the people that are going as well

Is there any chance that this can be addressed soon? At the very least it's useful for catching a DM online.
