As an addendum to this, would it also be possible to simply have the tool return the plane the players are on, and not the area detail? For instance, it might return "a commotion" from the Beastlands, but that would not tell if it's the grasslands, forest, waterfall, etc.
That's what we've been planning to do mostly yeah.

way I figure something like this would function is this

you can activate widget or some part of the gui

1. option one (list or do not list)
2. option two (looking for group not looking for group).
3. display looking for group
4. display areas


1 and two explain themselves it would toggle between being shown or not. Listing groups would just give a listing of those who have enabled the toggle and are close in level nothing more. Area list I figure would be likewise show if there is "few", "commotion", "herde" at X location. Not much else.

How long, what level or who would not be displayed no point.

Most common abuse is a DM logs in and folks Gather to were groups are in hopes of gaining DM attention. As for folks having alone time I don't care my characters will fail in relationships 100%. :P

Lost and Not Found, your utter hostility to the idea entertains me so. :P
When I play it is usually the low hours. I don't have high hopes for the NWN2 player base as general. Plus, I'd rather have the tintable red-wizard robes than some tool of no use to me.

For what my 2 cents is worth, I give the tool a big thumbs down.

I have enough troubles getting way from people sometimes.

Oh for goodness sake...

The tool will be optional to use... you can opt out of being shown on it... it doesn't pinpoint anyone by name, only number of peoples of certain levels grouped in certain areas...

It will be completely invisible to those who don't want to think about it, as if it was never there...

Why is there stealth e-peen waving in a thread about the player list tool? :P
