Greetings,
I propose that there be a way for all characters to tell if someone besides themself is unconscious. Perhaps a graphic? I suggest a graphic for unconscious to be something along the lines of the character image lying down on the ground, or if that is too complicated a symbol that is above the unconscious player's head. That symbol could be a twirly circle...as that is often used to symbolize unconsciousness. Having something that tells all other people if a person is unconscious or not would be very contributive to roleplaying as that would allow healers to know whether to heal or not, allow thieves to know if they have attacked enough, and so on. Thank you for reading!

Oh, and as a add-on to this proposal I suggest that unconscious people lose the ability to speak, and even whisper...its pretty scary and unrealistic to have a supposedly unconscious person be able to talk normally as if he/she were wide awake!

elaralith use the edit funtion, yes i think this is a good idea, especially the halo thingy.

Why not for now simply take the existing character/monster graphics and colour them slightly grey? Not much work there, and it gets the point across.

I would prefer different graphics to be added before this. Like sitting cross legged, for when you are by a fire with friends. I think the not being able to speak would be annoying though, if you could whisper it would be like spiritually connecting with another persons thoughs, and that way you could tell them they are unconscious and urge them to come back to consciousness.

Graphics of unconcious characters already exist. That was stated by someone of the graphics team before. They just need to be implemented into a later client.

that's right.
the graphics exist, it's just that
1) the client needs them to be built in
2) the server needs to be changed in order to use them.

this topic can therefore be locked (i can't do that myself).
