It would be helpful if people who are dead had a different classification, to reduce the kin list clutter.

Automatic: Game changes their icon to a skull, gives them special color.
Manual: Allow players to flag others as dead, gives them icon/color.





No change: Leave it to players to reserve a color for dead players and update accordingly.

Well, there is space for another button on the interface next to the kin list. Maybe a death list? People you've killed, people you know who've died, people who've killed you, statistics on animals you've killed maybe.

I was thinking for memorial purposes, plus it'd allow people to return corpses after a fight (which I guess can be done with memorization).

I wish the hearthfire's owner's name didn't show up all the time though. I think it should be only when you hover over it, not when you come out of your house or mine or reenter the area.

Well, I just fixed it so that names on hearths and skeletons only show up while hovering on them. That's what required the protocol change, btw.

There was a bug in the initial client after the version bumped, that I fixed a couple of minutes later. If you make sure to update it, it should work now.
