What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
- This suggestion is to add a toggle, perhaps in the C menu or F4 menu, which would allow players to choose to toggle on and off the names and the HP that appear above someone's head. These would be individual choices and would stay toggled on at first (meaning all new players do see the names above peoples heads).
The name section could also be separated in 3 separate toggles for "See full name", "See no name", "See only prefix" (such as ranks / roles).
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
- Perhaps the full removal has been, I've never seen a toggle suggestion though.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Common "development time", otherwise because it is a toggle it won't really have any other negatives. I guess people with it toggled off may have a harder time reporting people, but the toggle should allow them to flick it on quickly to get a name.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Read the above.
It is a toggle based change that allows individual players to choose which part of the RP / immersion breaking world they're able to see. It would be set at visible at first to allow newer players not to get lost and stuck at the lack of ability to see names but people who want it could turn it on or off at a whim.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Choice - As it is a choice to trigger it on and off, it will not negatively affect anyone as they can always decide to use it / not use it. It also allows a person to only activate it during specific moments, such as high quality RP or events (if they so choose).
- Immersion Increasing - It allows a person to activate it to increase their immersion if they want. I've had many events personally that feel less immersive due to the works above peoples heads and have also had the opposite feeling much more immersive when GMs use certain techniques to hide their names during events.
- Community Support - Many people have wanted the addition of hidden names for a while now and this change can do that and please them whilst not actually negatively affecting anything.
