I was just thinking; what if people in an area decided to play hide-and-go-seek, can they hide the names and such of the other players in the area, so they wouldn't be able to tell where they were?

I just thought it would be something fun for maybe a guild-event in the future, arranging these kinds of games for it's members and the winner gets a special title within the guild, or a money price, or just feeling the most skillful out of the members of the guild,

i havent sen that in controls menu but should be something to look for when the next beta comes up, and when it finally goes live as well.

No idea but there might be an add-on for it.

hmm... i'll definitely need to keep an eye out for that then....

or options for show only friends, guildmates, raid, party, everyone, enemies....etc

Considering that there are no nameplates at all (and this is a a huge issue for me), you can pretty much already play hide and seek.

The UI is pretty customizable, you can make it pretty unobtrusive if you want and have only parts you want. Not sure if you can change everything you may want, I made mine smaller but kept everything stock. But, there are lots of options.

You can disable a limited number of features completely and independent of each other. They are covered in this video from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEvrG5ksQ1M&list=UUGhs9S33RAeT5DEuKTO4Oew. However, the target health bar, level and name will still show up.... for now, anyway.

Thank the Maker there is an AO to remove the compass and the crosshair as well.

I wanted to ask a similar question about this. My idea was: wouldn't it be great if your name is only shown to those you "introduced" yourself too? i.e. accepted friend requests.

Any particular reason for this being an issue to you? I like the limited UI - then again, im a very private individual when it comes to mmo's.

Guess im not the only one who welcomes a minimalistic user interface. Its beneficial to those who appreciate the immersion aspect in mmo's, me being one of them.
