    Most of us have been in a situation where we think/know someone is hacking but they hop servers to avoid being recorded. Well, maybe the /server (player name) could be a solution. A regular /server gives you the IP of the current server you're on. But the /server (player name) tells you the server the player you searched for is on.

    For example:
    /server SpeedBreaker

    Command: SpeedBreaker is currently on MC-War 3.

    This could indeed be helpful, but I also see a problem: Immature players could use it to stalk/follow others around.
    So far you could only see a other players server if he is on your friend list, so only players you accepted as friends could see which server you are on which makes it easy to control.

    This will be the worst for warZ, big teams will constantly stalk smaller teams and players that have loot. This will definitely give big teams an even bigger advantage than they already have.

    If this were to be implemented I would say it should only be for staff use.

    And even than some of them may abuse it too help team mates.

    I think he means for t-mods+. I do say it'd be a great idea to do so.

    Staff already has a command similar to this, so Speed's suggestion would be for players to have it.

    I've already heard a similar thread to this +1.

    Also a method I use to stalk people (hehe) is this magnificent beauty. (thank ya putty)

    I've been using this for a year now... just enter in the person you wish to stalk (Only for the wing signature! The other signatures don't show what server they are on). And KABAM, you now know which server they are on. I find it extremely helpful when trying to piss *cough cough* people off *cough cough* and kill them on every WarZ Server *cough cough*.

    Posted same second EDIT: Minute -.- *claps*.

    Could you also do /block and it blocks the person from seeing which server ur on?

    The only problem with this is that people could use it to target people. One time I added someone onto my friends list and later they targeted me on CTF by constantly switching to the server I was on, so I had to remove them. If this was added, even though I removed them they'd still be able to target, so it would get annoying.

    If something like what @Turmac suggested was implemented, it should be fine.

    Do you even play warz competitively fire? :V This would literally ruin the whole entire game.
    WarZ is already unbalanced as it is, giving people a "I Know what server you're on and ill get my whole team to kill you now"-like mechanic would not be fun. It'd need to be unusable on warz or something so it doesnt get crazy. I dont see it being a problem on other servers though. Maybe ctf.

    Staff have this command, and the friend listing is already really similar to this. How about you give something a try before blatantly assuming the outcome of a result?

    See, this is where I'm laughing (figurative sense). The server has dealt with worse problems, yet it has remained fine in the end. Please, stop overreacting at everything.

    /friend, /sj [Name], etc.

    Staff already have commands for this. There's no need for players to have it. Especially for WarZ, I hate being stalked.

    Sounds cool but what happens if it is used in reverse? So the hacker stalks someone, stealing stuff and info over and over, without rest?
