Display Name option for Free Company members

At the moment I have the names of everyone but party members and friends hidden. I find it makes the game feel much less cluttered, especially in Idyllshire, when the names of other npcs are turned off. The only problem is many times I'm unable to recognise my own fc members when I encounter them (unless I add them to my friends list & that really isn't a convenient option).

So could we possibly have display name options for Free Companies?

I've wondered why this isn't an option as well.

Would love this.

I was literally about to create another thread for this lol

It would be awesome to be able to show FC members like friends.

I'm in for it too !

supplement this idea with "another" that appears to be an exact duplicate of this idea?

(I'm in favor of the idea. I'm just not quite sure what distinction you're drawing between HReincarnate's description of it and yours.)

Colors.. Which ideally would be included if we had the option to show FC members like friends and party members.

I though you wanted an option to hide the FC names, in the displayed names, not an option to display names of FC members, I'm sorry I misunderstood your suggestion, I posted a message to fuse the topics.
Although I'd like the whole set of options for FC members, like what we have for NPC / Friends / Team members / Alliance / etc.

I was just coming to make this same post. Please let me change the settings of FC members, so i can spot them better in a crowd, without having to add all of them to my friends list!

I would absolutely love this. I'm torn because I love seeing the names off of other characters because it really gives an immersive feeling, but at the same time I hate ignoring guild members who are giving me a /wave or /cheer and I have to select every single person in a region just to see if I can find them to give them one back before they disappear.

I completely forgot I posted this. Glad to see others agree.

Atm I've turned names back on since my friends list is filling up :P

bump please

Don't feel bad about this. I'm one of those people who like to /wave at FC members when I come across them, and I don't usually wait around for a response. I have no way of telling if they're busy with something, or AFK, or just don't notice me for whatever reason. Sometimes they respond by saying "Hi" in FC chat because I'm now too far away. It's all fine.
