I totally disagree with this as it is the first step to breaking the communication code between the server and the hacker's computer with Ryzom client.
Note: I'm totally not accusing the person who mentioned this of intending it for this use, I'm just saying it (the user coords) will eventually be used for this purpose.
All they have to do with the character's location, is insert the coords into a trainer, (or use SoftIce) and then whammo lots of wonderful things start to happen. If they know where the character is, then they can gradually start to piece together information related to that character, including mobs surrounding that character, spells cast towards that character, the number of enemy characters hit points etc.
A good example of this type of problem is in AC Darktide, where there is a program that people use that if you have a war spell cast at you, the computer automatically moves you in a bunch of little directions at once, so that you do not disrupt the computer (your computer and the server pretty much totally agree on location), but you move in such a way that the war magic spell can not hit you.
Any information released with regards to the communication code between server and user should be held in strictest confidentiality please.
I don't understand why a person really needs coords if they've got a map anyways. Other than to make it easier to find people of course, but whatever.
Say NO to location info. pls.

That is fine, it doesn't have to be the exact same one that the servers use, could just be a longitude/latitude type system that was overlayed over the map and scaled with it as you zoomed in and out. If you have ever made a map there has to be somekind of number system to do it right, I just want one displayed so I can see if I am anywhere near the same spot I found that excellent seed in yesterday.
And my suggestions:
1. Add in the functionality that allows me to open the chat line by using the "/" key, is a bit of a pain to have to hit enter then type out "/tell <name>" or any of the "/" commands.
2. Has already been stated but is pretty important... The ability to reorganize my inventory into seperate compartments. For you men out there that have never seen a woman's handbag with only one compartment, it is a nightmare to find anything. So let me put this stuff into different areas of my bag.
Someone above said it was possible to arrange your items in your bag... I can move them around but the items after the thing I am moving to/from a spot will randomly move. So rearranging becomes an exersice in frustration and nothing more.
3. Slash commands for all the emotes. (this is a wishlist) And a list of all the slash commands in the game, now and updated when changes are made.
4. Immediate saving of all the settings that are saved on my computer when I set them. Is really annoying to be on for hours and have set a bunch of landmarks (hours ago) then the game crashes on my computer and I loss my landmarks because they are not saved until I log out of the game. Silly me thinking my character and everything associated with it was saved when the line Alystra saved. came up in my sys window. Also, have this saved to a specific file that can be backed up incase you need to run recovery (since that program deletes all your landmarks for you).
5. Did I mention some sort of location system...
6. Harvesting Status window (window above the resource node with health, etc. in it), either need to be a seperate window that comes up on my interface or is a window that will always be on top. ie. really a pain when I can't see it because some flyie thingie has decided to come check me out while I am harvesting.
7. The trade window would inform you of your bulk with the items you are about to get. At least a red message telling me I will be over bulk with these items, so I don't lose some items (as in they disapear into thin air) if I hit accept and it results in over bulk disappearance.
8. The ability to choose what icon will appear on the action hot key when making a custom action.
9. And one final note, this is in the major wishlist catagory: Make it use the hyperthreading of my cpu.
