That function would be pretty nice.

Would't be too shabby.. :)

Having a bit in the playerlist that would show your buddies no matter what server they where on would be good I think but other than that it wouldn't be too helpful.

I think this whole idea about a global playerlist you only allow players to contact their friends and guilds globally.

Mutual friends.

Yes, that's what i mean. Allowing to globally contact everyone would be madness. Also would'nt this cause a little bit of lag? x_x

"YEA GUYS. THINK ABOUT IT. I CAN NOW LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT MY NEW PROGRAM TO ENHANCE GRAAL *cough* give me your password/acct/ip etc..*cough* AND MAKE GRAAL THE BEST EVER. YAY"


Their would be tons of accts being hacked. What if you are banned from a server? Maybe it shouldn't show the playerlist for it then.

You can only mass message to those who are on the same server as you, and still, if you were to go for private messages all it's saving you is the few seconds you'd hvae spent switching from one server to another.

One problem however is bans, as currently you can still PM even if you're banned on that server.

Hmm, maybe there could be a new line for the graalconfig.txt such as :

globalpmaccess=playerlists you want to be able to view. And if an account is banned from a server it would automatically disable the playerlist which the account is banned from.

I think a buddy/friends global chat list would be more widely accepted.
eg.
Joe adds Bob
Bob adds Joe
Then they can talk between servers.
Or perhaps a confirmation to recieve a message/buddy.
Joe has added you, would you like to add Joe?

I think having this as an option would be a good idea. Like AIM's privacy settings - either allowing anyone to contact you, or a list of who you choose.

well v4 already has a gobalplayerlist =p

Yes, but it's not available to everyone yet, so it isn't quite madness yet.

yea i know,only us loved have it ;), but his post was making it seem like having a gobal playerlist at all was going to cause .. lag =x lol

Lag, maybe not. Mayhem, in it's current state, probably.
