Seeing location using Thirdeye in house/city/race who lists

Accidaente · May 2013

When having the Thirdeye ability, or by eating an echinacea root, you will be able to see the location of all adventurers (that don't have a defence for it) in the main WHO list of Achea.
However, this is not the case for any of the specialized who lists for your house, your city, members of your race, your class, your clan, your party, etc. (HW, CW, RW, CLASSWHO, CLWHO, PWHO). In many cases, the thirdeye skill is used especially to find out where your friends are, if that's to hang out with them or because they are seriously in need of help. Thus I believe that it would be very useful to also have the locations of people appear on these specialized who lists.

What do you think?

I'd really rather not. orgWho lists are pretty damn short. It would be like the easy way to stalk your citymates. Also sometimes I'd really rather not find out who is canoodling with who in 'The Iniquitous Bower of Hanky Panky (house)' just because I want to know which citymate is online.

eta: There's an ability in vision called 'Farsight' which will let you discover the general location of your friends (if different) and the specific room (if you're in the same area). I think that should suffice when looking for people in particular.

Or you know, you could talk to them and ask where they are?

There are certain means of hiding your name from the default WHO list: gems of cloaking and chameleon tattoos. CWHO and HWHO ignore those, and they don't cost balance, either. This would effectively make HWHO and CWHO more powerful than every dedicated location ability (of which there are many: farsight, window, sense, scry, etc), at the cost of a single echinacea root.

Plus, it would display just awfully. Can you imagine trying to squeeze in someone's name, title, rank, channel-on status, class, and some treacherous string like "Within a garden of soaring larches (house)"?
