Historical

This section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Prior to Issue 12, the hide commands behaved differently than they do now. Instead of giving the user a window with selectable hide options, they would hide or unhide the character from local/server (hide/unhide) or global (ghide/gunhide) searches immediately, including /whoall, /search, Supergroup listings, and/or Global friend lists.
