Well, if you sync 'where' with it, it should be as problematic, the only
thing is, most people wouldn't have done that going by your first message.

As long as you make sure to point things out well, that isn't the case.
On VieMud, people have learned how things work, and '0.<name>' is the
player, '<name>' may not be.

We incorporated this into VieMud too... with a slight difference, a tell
to a switched immortal traces to where the switch has gone. For example:
Bob the immortal is switched into a cityguard.

You tell Bob 'Hey, what's up?'
Bob replies to you 'Shh... busy.'
That way, you also won't see where the immortal is switched. Seems to
make the most sense in terms of quests, rp, or whatever.
