A small change request

[complex2000]

<DIV>This may seem a little trivial, but a nice change to the interface would be a small indicator when your AFK flag is up.  I have seen so many players (including myself) running around with the AFK flag up, and no visual indicator in the interface exists.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Like I said, it's a nice to have item.</DIV>

Oooo yes, I agree.  And one for the other states, too, LFG, LFW, and the like. <div></div>

<DIV>Not sure what you're asking for. When someone is LFG or LFW or AFK it already says so right next to thier name. Soo, what you are asking for already exists.</DIV>

That afk flag works great for informing other people that you are afk, but does nothing to inform the person playing that they forgot to take their afk flag off when they got back to the keyboard.  I'm personally all for a big AFK in the middle of the screen when you have your afk flag up. <div></div>

<DIV>Set your name to show when you mouse-over yourself. I have mine set fo self name to target or mouseover only. I have the same settings for NPCs and group members. You can set the health bars to the same settings. It helps keep the name clutter down yet keeps the name & health information readily available. </DIV>
