I like this function.

Can we tack more onto it?

When you first enter an area you get a variety of tags: [Magic][State][Teleport][Etcetera]

There is no possible way that I know of to re-display these tags without exiting and reentering an area. Can this be added to the display? It can help especially with abilities that toggle some of these functions.

(Also, maybe changing -date to -status might be more in line with what it really does. Or simply adding -status and keeping both)

Having the possibility to know the name of the zone/map you're in would also be golden.

It would make it easier to write bug reports, as you do not have to exit/enter the zone and stare at the loading screen to get the zone name right.

Just hover over your portrait in the top right to know what area you are in.

I think the current command and function for -date should be split as is. It currently gives you the ingame date, all of your current f/w/r/p/s percentages, your dweomercrafting level, and your adventuring pool. Typing in -date causes a big ol' block of text to blap into the combat log. Maybe splitting the information between two or more commands would be nice.

I do agree that having the ability to pull up area flags would be nice. Same with being able to see the current weather for that tick (if the map is outdoors).

My vote is to rename it "-status" and gives us ALL the info in one big burp. I don't mind reading through stuff I don't need but I do mind trying to remember ever-increasing numbers of dash commands on general principle.

I'm with Revenant on this one! One big informative piece to pick and choose what you seek. Easy for new players to discover and use in its simplicity.

That's the coolest thing that I'll never remember to use, again.
