I like to check peoples' profiles when I see them chatting on the gweth or something but I've never come across them in game. Not sure why I do it, but I like it. And, when I used to play before it was usually interesting - I might get to see their features, or some funny quote they included, or maybe even get some deeper insight into their character with their preferred location and spouse or something. Lately though, every profile is exactly the same: the default.

I think it'd be a good idea to include a profile nag message, set for maybe every third or fifth login, that pops up about 10 seconds after you get into the game (once that opening scroll nobody ever reads is gone) reminding you, if your profile has never been set, that it's a great way to send a message to other players of what sort of experience you're hoping to get out of the game, particularly with the RP/PvP settings.

That's why I specified people that are still set default; once you make a single edit, nag stops.

I suppose I see what you mean; I was just thinking that the player in question could just "set" something that was already at its default (like setting PvP to Closed) to get it to stop nagging them.
