So I've been thinking about this for a while now and I think it would be cool if in addition to having a rank within, let's say the US, to also display what our rank is within our cities or even just a region (like Midwest or west coast etc). To be perfectly honest I just wanna know who in the area I live in is better than me. I think this would also do the community good, I would enjoy getting to know other osu players that live in the same area as I do but as of now have no way of identifying anyone near me.

Chances are though this is probably asking a lot for the development people , I assume this would probably take a lot of work... Or maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am.

It could be nice if osu gets a lot more popular but atm I feel as if it'd maybe have 2 or 3 people per map at best unless you live in a very populated city.
For example I can check the country rankings and most of the maps I play don't even have a full 50 people on the rankings, the divide that by the amount of cities in said country and you can see how low the amount would be.

Also, there might be very slight security concerns if people don't want to give out the city or area they live in.

Yea i see what you're all saying, since I live in one the the top populated cities in the US I guess I'm almost assuming i'd find people as apposed to less populated areas. But then we could also implement the regional identification also, that would side step people not wanted to show their specific location and narrow down to a smaller area than simply 'country'. Of course this again would probably only be something worth implementing maybe in the US since it's such a large country with many regions.

No one plays here in the bummy part of southern US. I'd be like the only person down here in MS.

Oh I probably stated that poorly, I don't mean only worth doing in the US, their are other countries large enough also. Just using the US as a reference since it's were I'm from

That would be the fun part though and my point, wouldn't it be cool to find someone from ms who does play

Implement Nearby Ranking would be what you want. I don't see the point though. Access the Nearby user filter and you can friend them and use friend ranking to achieve this.

Nearby ranking wouldn't nearly have enough people to actually work, would need to be bigger.

Okay, so if you're like me you live in a city where on the nearby filter you've seen a person from time to time (well like once every 5 months) and you want to really see other people in your city without you being lucky and swithcing to the nearby filter at the same time someone else is on. Well how about in rankings there just another tab with the top 100 in your city:

i'd use this solely for the purposes of finding players who are actually near me rather than actually caring about their score

It's 2020 now and the game is plenty large enough to add this feature. Alot of people also underestimate how large cities are. If it was set to suburb then we would have a major issue, however if it is done by city i think we should be fine.

If we do nearby, could we have an option to put our county or county cluster in like Chicago Area or STL Area. That way, people in the middle of nowhere is matched with someone from maybe <50 miles away. I'm not one to ask about this, but this started 14 years ago. Its now 2024, and we have websites to rank us by state [https://states.osutools.com/][/https://states.osutools.com/l] which give us some code we can already implement into the game, but we can add on by allowing county clusters or major city areas.

I'm not sure this is ever happening. The internet has changed much over these years, and some would consider us adding this feature "doxxing". We already get requests to be able to opt out of the existing country identification.

The osutools thing linked above is different in that users opt in to having their state of residence identified.
