Ok I'll get stright to the point. My idea is that in the party window, cut off about 1/4 of the health bar (or just add this below the health bar) to make room for a small mana bar. This would have a few uses I'll list them.

#1 Blood ritual or blood is power necros can see who's low on energy, without the person having to tell them.

#2 In a though battle, you can see who on your team is low on mana and act accordingly. (Again without the person having to tell you)

#3 While doing things with hench you can see if your healer/protecter is ready for the next fight, or if you need to rest some more. This is one of the greater uses since hench can't tell you how much mana they have.

Well thats it. Hope you like the idea.

EDIT: Yeah I just relized I called it mana bar insted of energy bar. Too many diffrent rpgs and junk but I don't think it really makes a diffrence.

Most definately.

Then there's no excuse for not knowing your monk had no energy before you ran into that group of 30 hydras

Still, there is already no excuse to run into the next mob, unless the monk or whoever is stupid enough NOT to spam energy-warnings.

Use the lower 1/4 of the bar of energy, while keeping the upper 3/4 for health.

Yeah I thought of that but that's a little bit of a diffrent topic in a way considering seeing enemies mana effects diffrent things; thus that's why I didn't mention that.

As much as I'd like this in the near future, do these petitions actually have any impact on the dev team?

the dev team is the one who says suggestions should be put on fansite forums...so I guess they do, eventually.

I would actually bother to bring some energy regeneration skills. Usually other players never show their energy and I'm too lazy to ask everytime.

Yea, I can't see any reason why this could not be done (unless because of technical issues). It is a really good idea.
