Color Cursor's

[Erroneous 0]

Green

Players that have not directly committed an infraction receive a green cursor. Most players in Sword Art Online have green cursors. NPCs in Sword Art Online also have green cursors and also have an «NPC» tag under the HP bar.

Dangerous characters can still have green cursors by getting around the system. Monster PKing (player killing) or Sleep PKing will not turn a player's cursor from green to orange. Attacking an enemy in a safe zone deals no damage and will not change cursor color.

Defending against an attacking player or protecting a player who is being attacked by another player in a non-safe area will not change the player's color cursor. Total Loss Mode Duels will also not change a player's color cursor.

Orange

In Sword Art Online, players that have committed an infraction receive an orange cursor. An infraction is initiated typically by the first act of attacking a green player outside the safe zone.

An orange color cursor will gradually restore itself to a green color cursor within several hours for the first three infractions committed. For the fourth infraction, the orange color cannot be removed unless the player performs a quest. After the fifth infraction, a player's color cursor will remain permanently orange.

Players with orange cursors are unable to enter villages or streets that have the AREA effect on. If they try to get in these areas, they will be attacked by NPC guards until they leave the affected area. In order for an orange player to move around floors, they must either walk from floor to floor or use teleportation crystals.

Player Killers are granted permanent orange colors. While in the linguistic these players are referred to as "Red" players due to their interference with clearing the game, their cursors are not actually red.

Yellow

Inactive monsters, certain NPCs and pets have a yellow cursor.

Red

All active monsters have a red cursor of various shades. The shade of red can be used as a reference to the monster's power when compared to the player's level. The cursor of monsters that need to be killed for a quest appear with a narrow yellow border surrounding the cursor.

Taken from the SAO wiki. Right now users with colors on their names denotes a staff member or beta player. However I can make it so that names are based on players/accounts based on the Color Cursor status seen in SAO. All prefer the staff/beta players or the status of the player for colors?

I wouldn't mind implementing the cursor color system. Sounds pretty useful since it'll allow people to see who's playing what type of role, pkers and such.

I wouldn't mind either. Although I did like the staff colors but I feel like the Player Cursors might work pretty well in regards to the players role.

Hm, I actually like this concept, but am concerned that users might need a GM and be unable to differentiate between players very well.

For now there's a topic in the announcement forum stating who's staff. In the future once players apply to your quest for custom doll avatars. Then maybe we can have a floating text image to announce position on the site.
