Thread: LOOKING FOR DEs ON AHAZI
Ellesa,
Keep in mind that some people remove the "Make me searchable" option. So, they might be online but just not seen by that tool.
There is no way to find out who is online on a server-wide basis.

Respectfully,
The Character Search tool only shows you characters on the planet you are on at the time.
I think it's even more limited than that. If you search while in a city you only get who's in that city. So I'd gather it's a list of who is on that particular server of that particular planet. I really wish they had a /who all <planet> or /who all <profession> rather than doing /who profession and only getting your general area. The chat system is so fubar that I doubt it could handle listing all of the results anyway.
1) I hate this forum sometimes.
2) I was referring to the "Search" tool in the Character Sheet (Ctrl-P), not the "/who" tool.

Me too 
Okay....cool.
Then, we're on the same 'page'.
The tool in question shows you players on a planet-wide basis, not just the city you are in...
Planet-wide.

Respectfully,
the search tool just pushes the /who command with the parameters that you specify to the chat client. I know what you meant, and it's really the same thing. so let me restate it. if you use search (crtl-P, search tab) to find anyone or any profession, you only get results for the particular server on the particular planet. You don't even get teh entire Planet.
I have known that a few other DE's have been online and on the same planet as me (on my friends list or just ran by them), used it and only got myself because I was all the way out in the boon docks checking harvestors. If your out in the field, you won't get results from those DE's in cities, if your in a city you won't get results from anywhere other than that city, and _maybe_ the outlying area of that city.
I do a search for any bounty hunters on a regular bases while I'm passing through town, and I only ever see results for that town. I know there are definatly bounty hunters in other towns (especially Theed when I'm in Kaadara)
This chat system needs MAJOR rework. but I can live with it while they fix our profession and balance the game first.
I've been able to stand in the Labor Outpost on Yavin 4 and 'see' players that are at the Mining Outpost (on the far side of the planet).
Oh well....whatever. We have much larger issues at hand, obviously.
/bow
Respectfully,
Seems to be a lot more Ahazi DE's now since I've build my list, looking at the posts here and from JordJord's professions list.
Anyhow, I'm definitely interested in attending this meeting, please let me know if you guys set a time.

The time will be Sunday from 7-9 PM EST (in the Hotel in Coronet).
I hope that everyone that sees this will attend and spread the word to all other DEs that they might know.

Respectfully,
I'm not quite a Novice DE, but I hope to be by sunday..may I still come even if I haven't quite got the title yet? Or is it going to be a "Title" only convention?? Just curious, shoot me an in game email since I play very odd hours (living in Japan does that to ya, ya know?) Anyway drop me a line:
