Searching Players

[thrall]

this ideea should be implemented in MD SHOP and can be purchess after u buy the friends list

i m thinking about a option for sherching players and the posibility to message them.
the sherch should only let u know if the player is online or not (and it could be disable during head contest)

no matter how many friends list u buy there is always someone hard to fiend, so this feature will be very usefull (especialy if u see the player last date hi was online)

of course any improvements from u r welcome

Useful idea, but I don't think searching players is that much of a priority right now.

I like the idea. It will make things more easy but might have some downsides witch I don't know if I agree with...

There's a spell for locating players already..and if you really want to know if someone is on get friendslist on him. I'd dislike a new feature like this, taking some of the charm. MD is about running and seeking sometimes..(unless you seek an rpc, we get targeted through our list)

this sounds exactly like the friends list to me....you can see when they're online and message them.

if you mean some sort of a search box and you type in their name, well, i dont think that's a good idea, it removes away from the friends list that players currently have, then there's Shadow's point as well, half of it is having to find the person to message them, it makes it too easy if you can just plug their name in

as grido mentioned it conflicts with the friends list, But also it conflicts with what Mur has said previous (if i remember correctly) you will never be able to type in someones name and pm them or find where they are. you cant do that IRL, so why here?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

You can't do that in RL? Do you guys not have phone books or e-mails (I suppose being able to type someone's name and e-mail them is more a college campus thing) where you live? But yeah... Not a fan of the feature.

This isn't of vital importance... but I would like it, anyway.

Why not a search feature for sending items? What if you're trading with someone and you accidentally send your item to them instead of a Coin or something. Confirmation window, at least, would be nice...
