Old Alts

If it's no bug or an idea, but it's still MUD-related, it goes here.

Old Alts

#1 Post by gojin » Tue Sep 09, 2008 4:30 am

I was wondering if there is a way for a player to see a list of his chars. I ask because for sometime now ive wanted to play a char i used some years ago but cannot for the life of me remember the name. I did spend some days on him, at least long enough to where I dont think he would have been deleted and Im sure i could recognize the name from a list.

If someway does not currently exist do other players think such a tool would be useful or no?

If you're lucky, wizards might be able to tell you.

Such a thing could be useful. I myself keep a list of characters I've made on my computer for this situation (which I know doesn't work for everyone, but it has helped for me).

Or, do a creative thing like setting an 'alt' alias to the names of the alts on your main char.

IE; alias alt Gojin/Jogin/Nigjo

So, if you wanted to get a list of old chars you have, you could just type 'alias alt' and get the list. And update it as you gain new chars, of course.

If you registered an email with your "alts" then it's not a problem to help you.

I think it had an M in its name and was an elf. Mikhail? Monkey? Mikey?
