WISH: Where is everyone?

[StuBlad]

I'd like it if the "Where is everyone?" feature from WA was implemented for Neohabitats upgraded interface.

• It would count several of the most populated regions inworld (counting both avatars AND ghosts)
• It'd display the region names in order of most populated to least populated
• Ideally it'd tell you how many avatars were inworld

For example it could look a little something like this:

It's not perfect because we don't have region groups and region names aren't always as elegant as I've shown here. Also some areas have the same name, such as Woods Road, where all of the regions are named "The Woods".

Providing it's technically feasible, I feel it would be a handy feature to have implemented for the upgraded interface that would help other avatars to connect once inworld.

This is a great idea (after all, I put it into World's Away!) :-)

Just another thought on this, is there a way we could rig up our own version of a region group for use specifically with this? It could be a field associated with a region. The server could detect all regions that list matching region group names and group them together when calculating the population and the highest populated areas. The region group name would be what is displayed in the picture above.

So in closing, it wouldn't be a true region group as per the WorldsAway design but you could use it to group together groups of regions and do something with them.
