Now I know how annoying it can be from both a players point of view and from a Immortals point of view in both seeing and not seeing a immortal. Either that or get a imm to lay out a simple timetable of the time at which they can be contacted. Or do as i suggest long long ago, have a orb or icon or statue in their shrines, and make the statue glow then are on, and if you "look statue", when they are not on it would tell you that it has been so many, elven hours since they loged on. Im getting tired of wasteing even more time trying to catch the ever illusive immortals :)p
Some Immortals dont wish to be bothered at certain times, players want to be able to get empowered or tattooed etc.
Here is my suggestion. Attach to the who sphere command, something that reads the last system time login of the imms that have that sphere within their religion, then apply a simple math that tells the person how long ago that Immortal was on. If they are currently on you could have a mesg like you feel their pressence.
just as a example i really wanted to talk with a certain imm, I dont know his playing times at all. so i played almost 24 hours s day for almost a week so i would hopefully catch him. Praying once a hour for almost a whole week and nothing. Sure It could be bad luck that i didnt see him, but haveing something of the sort that i suggested above might aid the players greatly and wouldnt hurt the imms privacy.
