[REJECTED] /p Online counter

So, I suggest that when you /p someone, it tells you how long they've been on for instead of just "Yes" where it says "online:".

Example:

----------Piewarrior27's Profile---------
Online: 2 hours
Guild: Swagger Pirates
Achievements: None

Pros:
- It would fill in the space where it just says "yes".
- You can see when people joined the game, if you werent paying attention to chat, or had chat off
- It wouldn't take very much coding, as Intelli could just reuse the code from the offline timer.
- It matches up with the offline timer.

Cons:
- Stalkers ( I know, this is in the pros as well)
- It would require some, but not much coding, so less sim city

I know that there was already a suggestion that involved /p, here http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopi ... 10&t=12831 but ill give it a try anyway, as this wouldn't require much coding, and because why not.

I don't think this is much messier. It doesn't add a new line to profiles.

My problem with this is that I don't see what this suggestion could solve at all.

It would help me limit myself to how much time I spend on the server :D

I'm not so sure about that. I know there are times when I know I've been on something too long, but keep playing anyways. <.<

I see no real advantage to knowing how long someone else has been online. I often see people relog to fix various issues, so that wouldn't help this timer. The stalker "con" seems to be the only advantage, despite not really being a "pro". >.>

Couldn't you just ask the person online how long they've been online?

I dont think people keep track of time considering what 0820497 said. This should be implemented , I dont even think stalking is a problem ? Sometimes people want to when people get on to see there regular times if your setting something up. Ex: Setting up a contest and there a contestant so you could find a good time as the hoster.
