- The /who function will now display up to 50 matches and the total possible matches (for example, /who 70 shows "90 matches (50 displayed)")
Rollie, would the census addon be able to make use of this? It seems like it should reduce the number of /who commands that are needed when the census encounters more than 50 characters of the same level/class/race combination:
Currently, I think the addon tries 22 of the 26 letters, in an attempt to find all of the characters, if a /who maxes out with more than 50 results. But, 95% of the time, just doing a search for all characters that contain "a", "e", "i", "o", "u", or "y" would be sufficient.
Whith 2.1, the census addon would just need to try the 6 vowels, and then only proceed with the consonents if needed.

Edit: shortly after posting this, I realize that it won't really work. If the who detects that there are 83 characters that meet the query, and one immediately, logs off, then it would throw off the algorithm that I suggested before.
I'm still leaving this post here, just so that people can discuss it if they want.
Rollie, feel free to delete this post if you think it's unnecessary.
