Newspawn who is not at the end of a page

Postby Fingersmith » Sat Oct 15, 2011 6:14 am

Just watched a character spawn in a place with many people.
As far as I know when you check the people's page characters are listed in age order top to bottom so always newspawns are at the bottom end of the page. I am not counting characters in vehicles, only in the main area you are at.
So this newspawn should be at the end of the page, since he just spawned but he was 3rd from the bottom, as if he was at least 3-4 days old. How can that be? :?:

It confused me too, but apparently they do not go to the end of the page. People spawned on the same day are arranged in an order based on something else.

They should be ordered by day of spawning, but as you wrote, people in vehicles come last. I'm not sure why this would happen. If you want me to investigate send me your player ID and name of your character and I'll have a look.

That's what I meant. I need your id and character name to view the People page as through that characters eyes.

This is not a very big issue though. :)

Once I spawned a character and landed above another character who had spawned an hour or so earlier. My guess is they're arranged by spawndate and player id. Another possibility is that they're just called in the order they are in the database, and if it happens to place new characters in some sort of gaps that appear earlier (not sure why there would be gaps since entries shouldn't get deleted anymore), they appear earlier on the list.
