FYI:
* ping can't really be determined for now, not even sure of the purpose that'd be?
* level can be part of the who output, that's a server setting
* age, you mean when the player was created?

Age = Time logged in as player.

Ping might be wishfull thinking, but surely not impossible.

another thing might be :
Nannif, Ringtrader for rare gear
Fireborn, lvl 88, #190
/scorn/newbietower/level1 (In Scorn)

where #190 is 190 on the hiscore.

And the players should be listed in hiscore order of course.

Party : Killers

Some folks do not want anyone else to know they are in a party so others won't bug them to be allowed to join. I personally would like to be able to create hidden parties that do not show up in the party list (except to DMs of course).

Also some people want to keep their level private as well. As for myself, I think it is a good thing that level is hidden on Metalforge.

I'd rather see age as the real days since the character was created. That would be something worth knowing sometimes.

OK, Maybe skip the party.

But the level is already there (only not totally readable):
hiscore poof
And I see all your Exp, and what number you are in hiscore.
Poof #51 on hiscore with 3000 million exp.

I can see why people want to play alone, but you can run your own server, I want to befriend people when I play a multiplayer game.
Please make that as Easy as possible.

I may be dumb, but in what way displaying your ranking would help making friends in a multiplayer game ? Apart for bragging purposes, I see little interest in displaying it.
