Add a wealth leaderboards that shows how much people have in realms and credits or just credits. I think this would be a nice little feature to see where you rank up agsinst your friends.

Counter suggestion... remove all ranking. The last thing people need in this world is developing imaginary egos and unhealthy addictions. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why game developers started to add ranking? It is not to add some healthy competition or as you say to know where you stand with your "friends". Rankings are a tool to retain player base and player spending by creating addiction. Although this does not apply to the same extreme in Minerealm since Intelli gains little by encouraging addiction. The end result is the same... people spending more time trying to be top dog and then living in some illusion that it somehow matters.

TL:DR; We already know who the most wealthy people are... why encourage their likely bad addiction?

I didn't really like this suggestion due to it becoming a competition. Things like PvP are already meant to be competitions, rankings just up it, while credit's aren't really. Also:

Worm certainly has a valid point. However I might be in favor of an idea like this if it merely showed your standings with other players like the realm list but without the realms/credit count. This way it would be kind of like it is now where you may know who is more or less wealthy than you are without necessarily knowing exactly how many credits they have. This way people aren't trying to "outwealth" each other nonstop by just trying to get a few hundred more credits or so, thus creating even more addiction.

Well I don't always... sometimes I forget to use the color tag. I will answer your question with another question... other than being the highest contrast on white... why black? Adjacent to that thought though... why that color specifically I have no idea, since my favorite colors are forest green and drab brown.

You said it yourself: contrast. It's easiest to read, not to mention that it's been traditionally used for a long time due to both the contrast, and the availability of black ink, charcoal, etc..

I wasn't suggesting that it was better, I was just explaining why it was used.

Not to mention that I have a tradition of not committing bloody murder...
