Therefore I see no true "better" way, and it's down to a matter of personal preference.

I've spent a lot of time developing on "big" servers, namely Maloria and Zodiac. Along with Kingdoms Debug, they all had one thing in common: player flags was filled with garbage, which made looking through them more annoying than it should be. This was especially annoying on Zodiac.

clientr. flags trigger to the client automatically, you know. I recall Stefan posting something about updating clientr. flags frequently wasn't very optimal. I can't remember the exact details.
