Player Search

[Gokulo]

* This feature, planned for patch 1.20, is still in development, and therefore subject to change.
The Player Search feature will be introduced in patch 1.20, and will function as follows:
≪Search≫
You will be able to search for other players by specifying online status, class(*1), level, location (area), Grand Company, and language(*2) search conditions.
*1. If a player’s online status is set to “Seeking a Party,” the feature will search by preferred class.
*2. The default language will be the same as that set under FINAL FANTASY XIV Config.

* By default, only players within five levels of your current class level in a given area will be included in the search.

≪Search Results≫
The search results will display each player’s online status, name, current class, preferred class, location, Grand Company, and language.

Year after release and we have a slightly superior search system to the one they developed 8 years ago.

Beggars, choosers, etc.

So is this search only for party searching and not a /sea xxx type function? Was also hoping this would give us ability to boot inactive linkshell members, but it doesn't appear so from what it's saying.

Underwhelming. But what else is new! Better than nothing.

[Fievel]

Yay search system! definitely been wanting this.

It's just too bad you can't search for all the people that aren't online...
