I’m honestly not sure what to call this but some MMO’s I’ve played give you an option of a small player Bio using the chat log. This is just a UI suggestion and is a pretty minor fix but it is very useful. Please, if this does exist already let me know because I cannot figure out how to do it.
Basically if someone types something into the chat log or whisper you. You’d be able to hold Ctrl, Alt, Shift etc one key and Right-Click the name in the chat log. This would cause the player’s name to repeat, give you their current level & class and the name of the Guild they are in (if any).
Example:
“Marcuskilgannon” Ranger, level 80 <GuildExample>
That is how it would enter your chat log (in a unique color) and you’d be able to get a short description about the other person. I’ve used this feature a lot when trying to get people for dungeons/groups etc and you can make sure the person wanting to join you is suited for your needs. I also like using it when I’m offered guild invites and I can quickly see what their guild name is without having to ask.
I believe this was in Guild Wars 1 if I’m not mistaken as well.
