Increased Sight Range

[Zombies1]

I've played RO for many years. One of the things that bugs me about RO is the short line of sight. I'm not talking about being able to zoom out. I mean being able to see monsters and other players at a greater distance. I've played on some servers that have it and it is very addicting.

It causes people to KS less (unintentionally at least) Several times I've been shooting at a monster and realized someone else was there too, just a few tiles away but we didn't see each other.

Snipers have about as much range as they can even see an enemy, if not more with certain bows/skills. If you charge arrow, the enemy goes off screen. Same goes for JT/SG on a Wizard.

In a party, the support can be 3 tiles behind and be completely unable to see what is happening. There have been times it appears that a party member is just standing still, when they are actually killing something. Even a few tiles away I couldn't see it.

Computers these days should have no trouble loading more by having the player/npc view range increase. If that is a concern, then perhaps make it an @ command type option?

I'm saying this because I like heRO and I know a lot of people who would play here if the sight range were increased. I think it could add a lot to the server.
