Regonizing new players

[Dilihin]

 One thing crossed my mind when someone posted youtube review of PS in forums: How about making a label in online list that tells who are the newest players? This way, it's easier for older players to see who are new and who might need help to be introducted to the world of PS. I have seen same feature in other RP game and i think it works well.

Not every newly created character belongs to an inexperienced player...

A good indicator to ^re-cog-nize^ a new player used to be the character description; they often contain only the default char-generation statistics until the player learns to customize their characters' descriptions, including the OOC tab. And some rather old characters have typical exceptions from the default content. But to discover them, you would have to meet the character in the world. Labeling them as new in e.g. the "/who" list ... leaves some doubts for me.

Also let's try to preserve the new players privacy. Some may not like to be marked as "newbie" with a great sign on their head.
I think the idea behind the request is noble, but maybe the best solution is still to try to take an eye on new characters around and meet them with a RP greetings.
Also the tutorial area has been opened to senior players to allow them to greet an help newcomers.

Yes, you do have valid points i was concerned about aswell, but i have seen the very same feature deployed in other games and it seemed to work perfectly fine...well game communities are different. also LigH, i wasn't meaning that the label is with all new chars, rather with new profiles.But if you think it's best not to have this, then so be it.

Now that i  remember, the same game had feature which tells when players enters the game first time, that would be actually better feature and shouldn't be too privacy breaking, any thoughts about it?

I thought PS used to have a system like this with name color that changed over time.

The lack of armor on new characters might be a starting point.

Well there is some folks who don't use armor on daily basis because, well, not everyone is a fighter (unless things have chanced)
