Player notes?

Hey, I just realized there's this player note function, and I have a few questions. (Came back to CoX after a year and some change.)

When you assign a player note, is it global to the account or isolated to that character?

Does the note show up in character info? Is there an easy way to tell if I already have a note for a person?

Just a curiosity question: When was this awesome function added?

That feature was added in Issue 12.

Player Notes:

* You may now rate players and write notes about them.
o The notes are stored by global name.
o The note list is stored locally on your computer and will bring up the same notes for any character you play with.
o Only you will see the Player Notes that you write and ratings you give. Since these notes are stored locally on your computer, other players cannot see your notes and ratings.

Conversely, you will not be able to see any Player Notes or ratings that other players may have written about you.
o It can be invoked by typing /playernote <name> or by clicking "Add Note" on context menus.
o There is a new option to display the rating you've given a player above their name.
o Additionally, you can enable private message logging to store private message logs on a per global name basis.

It's global to the account, but also isolated to each computer you use. The info you see is contained in a playernotes.txt file in the \City of Heroes\your_account\ directory. If you don't have that file on a different computer, or the contents of the file are different, you'll see different results.

You can use /player_note to create or re-open info on a player.

Added in i12.

The Player Notes' star rating (that shows above said player's head) doesn't appear to be enabled by default. I had to enable it in Options for all my characters.
