  • Notes
    This command is intended to lower system usage by disabling the display of other players' alter egos. The following issues will occur, but they are an intended effect of using the command.
    • If a non-displayed alter ego casts a spell on your character, there will be no visual or log notification, but the appropriate status icon will display.
    • If players who have disabled the display of alter egos dismiss one from their parties, the visual effect thereof will not be displayed.
