/zone list enhancement request

[John Adams]

LE, since we're creating Friendly Names for all our zones, I'd like to change how /zone list works just a little.
Currently the command is /zone list {#} where # is the page number to display - which isn't really clear to the user what page their zone >may< be on. Leaving this as-is is not a bad thing, but here's the enhancement.
Can we make it so /zone list {letters} can differentiate between listing a page number, or display all zones starting with (or containing) {letters}?
Example:
/zone list Qeynos
FarJourneyQeynos, JourneyQeynos, NorthQeynos, Qeynos1Room1, Qeynos1Room2, Qeynos2Room1, Qeynos2Room2, Qeynos3Room1, Qeynos3Room2, Qeynos3Room3, Qeynos5Room, QeynosHarbor, QeynosMageTower, SouthQeynos
Let it display all the matching letters on a single page. Maybe make the search require at least 3 characters so it does not bring back 300 zone names into a single query.
"/zone list 10" can still page through them, but I really think {letters} will be more useful.

Let me add a note here. People looking to zone to Stormhold won't find "Stormhold" on the list. Stormhold is actually "Befallen".

[John Adams]

The idea behing "Friendly Names" is to provide the most common name that people know. I would never think to zone to "Befallen", it's always been Stormhold to me. Six to one, half-dozen to another. I'd say >officially< we can go with the most commonly known name. If that is Befallen, then so be it.

[Arremis]

Actually, you are correct, it is Stormhold. I didn't know it was Befallen until I was digging through the maps and found Befallen and didn't recall seeing that zone in EQ2, so I got into game and hit /zone befallen and landed in Stormhold.

[ZexisStryfe]

Stormhold was originally Befallen, from EQ1. However during development they realized that made 3 dungeons in commonlands and 1 in antonica. Because of that they changed the zone's name and moved it to antonica. files are still called befallen though.
Think its confusing now, wait till the next expansion when they actually add Befallen...

Sorry to spam, but...
LMAO!!!

[LethalEncounter]

Yah good idea, that would be easy to add and I really really liked the way it works anyways. Any thoughts about how we could get rid of the page numbers entirely? I could leave them there if no one can think of a better way to list them.

[Arremis]

How about alphabetically? Anyone looking for that zone that started with Storm-something.../zone list s

[John Adams]

If we're doing a "starts-with" only, then that probably would be ok. But if we're going to try ambiguous name resolution (like searching name, file or descriptions), I think we should force more than a single character in the criteria.
"/zone list sto" would then yield anything containing "sto" in the name, file, or description fields.
I'm not a fan of {page}, so if it goes away, I won't be sad.
