    @Chris

    The bracketed pvp is ugly I get the need for your color blind arguement. Is it possible instead of [PVP] you could use a symbol after the name say a fist or sword n shield etc.

    How about just putting a space between the end of the name and the opening bracket?

    Icons would be such a great improvement since they transcend language barriers as well as adding to the "feel" of the game.

    I would also enjoy seeing a skull symbol. I really dislike the PVP tag being added to the name of the person.

    I guess they could just make it so everyone has a [PVE] flag until they opt-in to adventure mode for a [PVP] flag, at least then it's distracting all the time.

    +1 for the skull idea, or crossed swords, or something

    Anything that reduces the amount of word diarrhea floating above a player's head is fine by me. I would like to see names, but couldn't care less about tags/titles/guilds so it would be nice to have some control over what you want to see...maybe in settings?

    Haha, wouldn't it be grand if it works like the colors of 'monster' names?
    :eek::p;)
    That PvP players of your level or above have a skull, while all those below your level just have a target...
    :D

    no I'm not serious, that would be a bad thing

    I agree that its ugly, immersion breaking, though does solve the issue for color blindness (I know several people with red/green color blindness, so its probably more common than people think). Icon sounds cool, but theres already lots of icons. There is also a desire for something to signify RP (or not-RP), so that needs factored in. Will players eventually have tons of icons? Icons are always better than text that signifies a game feature flag, so ill take a pile of icons over piles of [Text] [Flags].

    Totally get it that it works for "pre release" mechanics, though.

    I also want to add in the suggestion to customize color labels as we see fit, as per Ultima Online. If I want to make PVE players red, so be it. If I want to make guild members purple, so be it. If I want to change all PVP and guild-war combatants orange, so be it. Though, really, I diddnt modify the colors in UO much, the defaults make great sense, but I still want the ability to do it.


    haha, or, you get the [PVE] flag, and no ugly text when youre PVP flagged - as an incentive! :p

    Make a red oracle eye float above their heads like a spell effect.

    Honestly the guildmaster Icon isnt needed, wasted icon also im not sure the party leader is as important except to the party as much having a pvp symbol.


    Mabey when u toggle pvp those others are replaced with the Skull
