I would like to have a space to make a comment about people I have traded cards with. This comment would be for my eyes only. I have over 800 calling cards and sometimes I forget who the person is and their profile may not be a good reminder. I would like to be able help myself remember who they are. Just a little spot for a comment like these...

"Building a clothing store in Aqua"
"Showed me a cool lamp he made"
"told some twisted jokes about hippos"
"helped me with a sound file"

I endorse this product and/or service.

Yes - scrawling down things on notes just doesn't quite cut it.
Pleeeeeease!

Very good idea. Or even the ability to associate a notecard to a calling card in your inventory. That way you could have landmarks and stuff associated at the same time.

I've got half a dozen or more notecards along the lines Loki mentioned; reminders to look up people who are doing stuff I'm interested in, Landmarks to multiple sites they own, people who have done me favours, people who have just negatively rated me for not giving them my car on demand while I wasn't even in game (sorry, wrong thread...)

Actually, what I really need is a filofax :D

We don't need no steenkeen' filofaxes!

MY monitor's covered in post-its! (the ones that're about 1"x2";)


Seriously, this would be a very nice feature to have.

Simple/Small would be fine.

Being relatively new (and collecting quite a few cards), I have been thinking about this a lot.

Note cards and "separate" solutions like that are too cumbersome for me.

How about: be able to edit/rename the Calling Card name? If it is unacceptable to actually change the name text, allow a small text entry to be added. Maybe 32 characters?

An example card might look like this:

Just that much would be terrific for me, but while I am wishing -- it would be great to see my minitext comment in the popup when I mouseover another avatar.

About a month before I left Star Wars Galaxies, they added this feature. It was an enormous boost to my social abilities becuase I could easily re-start a conversation with someone that I encountered before.

I greatly support this product and/or service.

I posted this idea back before a lot of people started dumping their cards. With the percieved valuelessness of calling cards that some now hold, maybe a comment line like this would make them more valuable and functional.

Speaking of usefulness of cards, is their a way to give something to someone without having their card? I wanted to give someone something today and I could not because they cancelled my card. I used "FIND" to see their profile, but I did not see a place to give them anything.
