Can't /who Blade

[Blade]

Just came to my attention that people cannot /who me directly. I show up on the /who general zone list though.

Searched a little bit, didn't see this issue talked about.

some names are like that. on red we cannot /who all Ghost as well as some others. it has something to do (i think) with having a name similiar to a NPC.

Same issue with these character names:

Corpse
Target

...gotta /friend them (or be in their guild) to see them outside your zone.

I may be mistaken, but this is an issue with naming yourself after something that exists in game with the same name.

For example, Bladestorms (or whatever those things on 1.5 are called).

People cannot /who you directly, they'll need to have you on their friends list.

This may also be the case if there is a guild name that starts with "Blade"
