Add /anon and /rol tagged people to /who searches

[Pierth]

Would it be possible to add anonymous and roleplaying people to the lists generated by /who all commands?

It really sucks running multiple zones only to find out people are already camping certain spawns.

Nah. Make trackers for your favorite zones!

Because it's classic!

No, seriously: there was no way to check who was in zone back in '99-'01, so there shouldn't be a way now on a server whose entire goal is to emulate EQ '99-'01.

Let me guess. Specs? or Hill giants?

I get it, but it seems like a huge oversight. Using the anon or roleplay tags doesn't make you unsearchable, I can still do a direct /who check for specific names regardless of the zone I'm in and if they are on it will show and they still show up when doing a who check in zone, so what kind of logical sense does it make that you can't see them in all /who requests?

Again, it just seems like an oversight.

Because then you couldn't sneaky raid. Can just sit back in EC and search Veeshan's Peak or Hate or Fear to figure out timers without having to actually move. There's too many people sitting around waiting to kill raid mobs for it to be any easier to get timers/know where they can rapidly mobilize to leapfrog/vulture.
