CL: unexpected \infos
Luca of the Lok'Grotons
always enjoyed them. They felt like the equivalent of staring at a crowd
absentmindedly and suddenly recognizing somebody or noticing something
familiar about a complete stranger.

I really thought it was a feature too. I figured it came up for people
you have never /infoed before, sort of like meeting someone new. If it
was a bug, fix it up and make it a feature ;)

Sometimes, quite out of the blue, the info for somebody used to appear
in your sidebar without you asking for it.

I used to get it, but it stopped when i threw out the player list (it
had corrupted) and built it up from scratch again. I guessed it was
corrupt because it kept forgetting people i knew well, and saw
regularly.
As for random info's i liked them for the same reason - if you had
never seen someone before it was nice to get their info automatically
while the player list updated its icon. Also it did suggest idly
looking at the crowd and having your attention drawn to a certain
person for no obvious reason - happens in RL, why not in CL too ?
Since i'm talking about the player list anyway....
€If you have 2 characters, and one has seen a person - both know what
they look like. However their list of befriended people is apparently
kept unique for each exile (rather than account). Personally i don't
mind this, just an observation. Strong views anyone ?
€ One thing i would like to see there is unique icons for 1st-4th€
healers/fighters. Mystics get different icons for AM/JM/mystic - why
can't fighters and healers get the same?
For example....
1st€ fighter has a club icon
2nd€ fighter has a short sword
3rd€ fighter has an axe
4th€ fighter has a great sword
Bit trickier for healers but
1st€ healer has a moonstone
2nd€ healer has ??? (ring?)
3rd€ healer has a cad
4th€ healer has ??? (pendant?)
I guess the main arguement against this is to keep it quick and simple
to read, but with a bit of thought as to exactly which icons to use,
i'm sure it could be kept clear and easy to read. Comments anyone?

That would be great. I know I sometimes spirit link with an apprentice
mystic I don't know, just because they're probably fairly recent exiles
who could use a little help and encouragement getting started. I'd do the
same for a new fighter or healer, if I could tell who they were.

Aha! Same thing was happening to me, but I never thought to trash
by CL_Players file. I just tried it and restarted CL. Unfortunately,
it resulted in a crash first time I got connected and created the
file, but after a restart, the CL_Players file icon looks different
and I knew absolutely nothing about any exiles. I info'ed everyone,
and we'll see if that information is "sticky". I think this is the
fix I've been looking for. Many thanks!

I really like this idea, and I'm just a 2nd circle punk! :)

Should this piece of information be available automatically?
My suspicions are that many would enjoy it, most wouldn't mind
it and a vocal minority will dislike it on aesthetic/realism
grounds.

Then please put me in the group that would enjoy it. After all, that
would be a great incentive for passing those tests. It would also be
very practical. Let's say that I just came back into town after hunting
rats since I'm just a first circle fighter. At the same time there is
someone wanting to hunt powerful creatures and is looking for a group.
He can look at my icon and see that I wouldn't last a few seconds so
doesn't ask me to go with him. Plus, it would be neat to show off. :-)
