For those of us who are geographically challenged, and lose track of which character is in which library after constantly dying...I'd like my alts to be a bit more obvious amongst the half dozen other characters. It might just be a me problem, since I don't look at names, just the colors of the characters to find my enemies, but making yours alts a color that stands out would be nice so you don't have to worry about zerg flags and such.

I kind of like this idea, but I'd expand it further. Especially with the smaller map, I'm constantly checking where all my characters are before doing anything, or immediately after respawning.

I'd rather see some kind of indicator in the map grid showing where my alts are in that grid.

A map rework would be nice, to allow various toggle features such as nearby alts, the direction of the stronghold, or hell, allow faction lieutenants/leaders to set up waypoints for areas of interest (to a limit). Something like that deserves its own thread though.

Both would be good in different way, but making your own alts a distinctive color would indeed be helpful.

(Speaking from the viewpoint of someone just yesterday wondering why healing someone wasn't working. No, it wasn't my alt - but my alt was on the same tile without my realizing it.)

This is pretty straightforward quality of life and is a good idea. Once one has more than three or four characters, we've all tripped over this problem.
