It is very annoying not being able to see who in the alliance is on-line. There should be a feature that allows people to see the rosters of the other guilds of the alliance or, at least, leaders and officers.
How about a button next to each guild that opens its roster? That way it won't be loading all the time, only when you click for it... Still, the character names are supposed to be the keys in a hash table, so the access cost is supposed to be O(1). Than means that it might not be as bad as you describe it.
this is a good idea, I'm so tired of looking down a long friends list all the time. Besides the fact that I can't always remember who is from which guild, who is an officer etc.
My flist right now is completely full, and there's no way we can keep track of all the characters for each and every alliance member's account, it's just impossible.
If not do this for all members of the allied guilds, then at least do it for Leaders and Officers, and have it like a drop button, where you can click on a guild name and it will show the roster, or part of it.
I think it's a really good idea, and would be incredibly useful, especially for big alliances.
i have thought about this for a while and just now getting around tosee if what i think is what others think. Because i ran out of friends space but my alliances grow. Lame not knowing who is in the alliance and who is on.
be nice to at least see an ammount of alliance members on or at least the names of the online members
and i thought the rosters and such were on a seperate server... most games are anyhow... so its time to impove it... should have been done on the release of the alliances
