It would be pretty cool for players to see and compare the stats on the gears that other players have. |
interesting idea. I was working on something similar with my friend for his Aion development a couple years ago. It got shelved when he went back to doing Rohan stuff. Now that he is back in Aion Core's dev team, we can revisit that.
I am sure something similar can be done for Rohan since I expect like Aion most of the visual resources are installed with the client. You would just need to gather the player's database records, pick out the graphical elements, make sense of them and render it. yeah, I know it sounds simple. It ain't.

asdf - Checked out your leaderboard. I see it is an inventory viewer rather than a character viewer. good for a first crack at it. If/ever I decide to make something like that I would do something like I and Ish described above.
After seeing a bazillion of screen shots from irohan and pservers one thing I notice is that most people hide things like their HP, Mana and other things so they don't tip their competitors off with (an example if you are showing 20k HP, you don't want top tip off an enemy player that ffs 25k that he can 1-shot you).
You night want to consider either not showing stats or at least make it a user configurable setting with the default being "don't show". let the user decide if they want to show that aspect of their characters.
