Perception-a nice use

Here's my suggestion for the use of perception.
As it is now, in game there is no way of telling who is online or who exits the game.
So, perception could be used to detect when other players are online, like the system of old, before it was removed.

Yours

"Perception" refers to the eyes, ears and other senses, but none of them is magical.
So you cant say, just because you have eyes like a eagle, that player "Xyz" enters the game at a place you cant see/dont know.
Another point is, why do you know his name ?
The attribut "Perception" is a part of the Character, therefor IC.
But if you see the Name of a person your Char never meets before, this would be OOC.
So why do you get to know OOC-Stuff from a IC-Attribut ?

Well, i hope i could made my points clear.

See you,
Yours,
Loki

Nice ponts, ones that remained unconsidered with me.
Thanks for not flaming, Loki.

I will only "flame" if someone behaves childish or realy stupid.
You did none of both.
So Children out there, fear me !

perception already has a use, even though most propably will have a hard time to discovere what it is
