Some Ideas

Hello, everyone! (: I'll try to make this quick.

I am fully aware that KI has, is, and always will be immensely busy with updating various games, websites, and such. But adding small improvements like these next two ideas would surely help us young wizards!

The first out of two ideas, is dungeon "players tags".
I find that when I'm in a dungeon with a team, I always manage to lose track of them! So I thought about it for a while, and the best answer I could come up with is a player tag. When stepping onto the dungeon sigil (excuse me if I spelled that wrong!), each of the four spots will be a different color. I.E., the first player spot could be blue, the second being purple, and so on. This way, when entering the dungeon, each player will be marked as a different color on the map.
I'm sure all of us have seen how on our maps, we have a little green cursor to signal where we are. For the dungeon, each player would show on every teammates map as the color they were represented by on the sigil, as an identical cursor, to our green ones on a regular map. Of course this is just a bud of an idea, and I'm sure could be tweaked and worked on to better fit other's ides.

The second of the two ideas, which I'm sure KI has heard many complaints and requests about; numbers!
Before I start to delve into this one, I know that KI has had numbers off limits so youngsters, or any and every player, to keep from giving out crucial and sensitive personal information like phone numbers, birthdays, addresses, credit cards, and so on. It is a safety measure, and I can totally understand that. But for other players, it's starting to become a nuisance.
When taking quests to collect this many number of ___ from this kind of enemy, ___, I find it frustrating that I can't simply tell my teammate or partner who has the same quest, "I only need to collect two more." Agh! It's hard to simply state, "I'll be gone for four hours, then I'll be back online." I know that this is kept off-limits in the open chat, but it's got to be improved sometime! Maybe KI could create a system where no more than three numbers could be entered at a time. That way, players could only say simple things, and not give out their sensitive info like phone numbers and credit cards.
I get that numbers are a touchy subject to discuss, but when I can't even say my wizard's own level, I'm sure you can understand how difficult it is starting to become. I am positive that this topic can be improved and worked on to make it even better. And I'm sure there are many flaws and ways to get around this idea of a new system. But that's why I posted it, to get other ideas from other players who have their own input!

So I hope all of you could bear with my post, considering it's my first one, and probably naive-like compared to the veteran posters. But I'd been itching to share my ideas with others! I have a few other ideas, but much less developed and important compared to these two!

The "Player Tags" is a nice idea. Would be nice if people on your friends list could show up on your map too.

"I know that this is kept off-limits in the open chat" You can type numbers in open chat.

Nice first post, keep it up.
