Simply put, its not practical or really that efficient. :/ Something like that, if done improperly, could lag some players needlessly. I suppose something like that would be useful more for a community server where the focus is on building relationships with other players rather than action and/or adventure. If you think its that OMG-type of idea then I suggest not limiting the playing window to such a small area. Continue to use the full window but have those extras on an alpha layer so players can see under them

The idea is to make it so you can
optionally limit the playing window. That is an impractical diagram i made, but it's just so you get the point. Would be very good for the player list problem... To some it might seem that it limits the playing area but subliminally it's more of the thought of having to look at it over the playing area.
