I dont really see any need for this. You have played for a day, give it a few days or weeks and you will adjust. Detecting how hurt I am, or any other info from the promt has never been any problem for me. I just try to keep the prompts as clean as possible, with just the info I need. No more, no less.

If you keep your promt clean, you wont need two line prompts. For example, as a ranger/sylvan the only important prompts are hp/mana/moves and if you are in wilderness. And if you want to distinguish hp/mana/moves you put () or similar around it to highlight it.

I think the has been answered elsewhere by Uller, he is not interested in such who commands unless the amount of players increase towards 200.


>Suggestion Number 4: (You thought I was joking about my

I advice you to visit www.qhcf.net. They have a wrap chop tool that cut your text into 80 letter lines, and put 'role + ' before each line.

I cant answer this, but my take on it is that immortals/avatars is supposed to be a bit mysterious. The imm tag is often imms with religions. Avatars is new imms that just became immortal, and dont have a religion yett.
