Character searches on this site

On UO.com, atleast back when I played, you could search any character you knew, guild, etc by typing their name into a search bar on the site.. Along with that, you could view their paperdoll, what kind of armor they're wearing at the time, their skills and a few other things I can't necessarily remember.

This may be the wrong section to post this in, but I'd love to see this available.

 

Shouldn't God know all this? Surely God doesn't need a search bar...

I would like to see this on the site as well as an API so we can show this on our sites or build 3rd partys apps. Would need a privacy setting though. God might know all, but people might not want to open this up to anyone else.

 

Well in fact I DID know, just wanted to bring it up so the mortals could get it in their heads.

I'd love to see this too, especially if your checking out your enemies items/skills!

 

Skills...if there is no way for a player to know my skill-set in a numerical fashion inside the game, I'm uncomfortable with a player finding out while outside the game. I mean, if you would like to know how skilled I am with a War Hammer...go into the game, draw your weapon and find out. My statistical information should be mine and mine alone...unless I volunteer it.

 

@knoxinn I don't remember perfectly but I'm pretty sure it didn't list your skills. Only your title (GM arms man, Mage. Etc. )

 

Yeah, I couldn't remember either. I have given your idea some thought and I have a counter-offer...(which, I believe, is the first time that I have counter-offered God... )

This is how I would restructure that option for SotA:

Character Name
Occupation (Optional - Instead of "GM skills" the player can state what their character is)
Shield (Takes advantage of in-game Heraldry option to be recognized by your personal shield)
House Location
Vendor Location
Guild
History (Optional - A short RP write-up of character)
Email (Optional)
Social Media (Optional - Twitter, Facebook, etc)

This way, a player has a chance to both recognize and find another player while using very conventional means within the game (their shield, vendor, etc). And if a player wishes to be available to the masses, then this is their chance. Would this be a good compromise?

 

@knoxinn , God has accepted your counter offer. Now make a sacrifice.
