HS ingame colour change
So I logged on to the game for the first time in a while, and the first thing I saw was the HS ingame colour.

This orange is so similar to admin that there is no question about these two groups being eventually confused. It just looks red, any person who has ever seen game staff with coloured names is gonna think these people are admins.

You should just make em the old gm trial colour, it's pretty distinct (iirc legend ingame colour is quite different from this + the crown) from basically any other color. If this doesn't fit why not just make them grey? Grey is gonna stand out amongst the blue text and it's going to be their actual colour on the forums.

I'd also like to ask why that is bad, but I also want to ask what defrentiates that notion from any other group though? New players can think market squad is admin, etc.

Yeah, but that is entire new issue. The OP is saying that orange is wrong because it is too close to admins or something, so let's just make sure we're all on the same page before getting any further: is this an argument about usergroups having different colours on forums and in game, or is it following OP's logic

I mean, whatever works really. I don't mind being orange on forums, the thing that I don't understand is how's that an issue. Neither CS nor HS has any in game administration perms, so mixing us up wouldn't really affect anyone in my point of view. Also so far everyone recognised me as HS just fine, not really seeing it as an issue.

Changing any colours would only create more confusion as people are now used to seeing us in game as orange and on forums as grey and etc.
