Default Conning Players

Im a little confused about the con system here on Red99. Back in the days on VZ/TZ it would give only 3 different color codes. Red = The player is at least 9+ levels above you. Green = The player is at least 9+ levels below you. White = The player is within the 8+- lvl reach.


Here on Red i see blues and yellows which for me gives away too much information. I prefer only to know if the player is in my pvp range but without knowing if he is some lvls above/below me. After all i want to find out during the fight. This colorsystems makes the life of a pk way to easy.

If you want to know is if the player is within your range then don't even worry about the color, if the player cons you threateningly, they are in range.

Is your body ready?

support green/white/red, it's about more than just knowing who was in pvp range - it's about not handing out free kills to the girls that run around PKing people just because they con blue.

I thnk the new colors look kinda cool!
not the cons but the purple and the pve blue

but cons yea, i do agree
the white for pvpable, leaves a sense of mystery about your opponents level

but the dark blue con
just gives someone of a new spell level a reason to attack others with greater pets and nukes. its not to bad now at low levels, but later when your stuck at 38 for a week it could be!
its like bypassing the /who to see their actual level

Didn't always know if someone was in your range on live in 99. If Rogean must insist on the is your body ready thing, so be it.

Players within PvP range conning white is Classic on every server, and also adds a great mechanic to the game. Is there is a reason for it not being this way; is it too hard to implement?
