Toon, smurf, alt, sec... Whatever you want to call it, secondary character has
come here to stay and I would really like to see more love and useability to
put into character handling/swapping now that honeymoon with them is starting
to be over.

Few suggestions:

- (Online) tag added to finger if you are online with your other character
He has a secondary character, X. (Online)

- Optional tell forwarding between characters when you are online with either
one. Example: Someone tells something to your main char and you online with
your secondary -> tell forwards to online secondary

- United news system at least on read news and subscripts. In other words:
News wont be tagged as unread on both characters separately

- Some kind of synch center where you can copy-paste/synch settings between
characters. Lites, styles, commands, aliases, friends, notes etc.

- Like I asked already before, reduce the wait time on ld-swap. Already few
mins would serve its purpose whatever it is and with quit real you can do your
"abuses" if want as we speak so I don't understand what this serves other than
being highly annoying feature. Also quit real is so oldschool...

- Remaining wait time to show when you try to log on rather than just spam the
max time.
"You still need to wait 42 seconds before you can log on again"

- Possibility to add also secondary to chest owners and then auto-unlocking to
work on both characters and not reset every time you open chests with
secondary.

- Optional shared bank (tho might be alone in this). PS. "Transfer cash to
secondary to avoid bankrobbers" is a stupid feature anyway

At least I'm using currently my both characters almost every day I play and
swap them sometimes multiple times around depending on game situation and
needs. Some of these features are starting to be much more burdensome the more
actively you use your secondary :)

Yours,
Z
