What Vernon mentions is the reason why things are currently as they are;
Profiles were meant for different appearances, outfits, or shapes (for shakeshifters). Things other characters can only see if they are in the same room… with the exception of avatars, who Azure and Raeth convinced me to include in the Profile early on.
The About and tags were meant as OOC info to help other players get an idea of what kind of player and roleplay they can expect when interacting with a character - to help them know if this is someone they want to interact with. And that is why those things are also accessible while not in the same room.
I can see how it doesn’t really cater to current mood, or the use of tags to describe the character’s current state.
I don’t mind rethinking this… but… While it may make things easier for those using about/tags in that way, will it make the game better or worse for all the others using this info?
