Players online time
I think it would be interesting to see how long ago your friends has logged in the game last time!
Ex: was on 45 minutes ago
was in the last hour
was 4 hours ago
was 2 days ago

Re: Players online time
Yes, this has been requested before but is a good point. It would be a good method of clearing your friends list of inactive players. It would be good for clans as well for the same reason.

Re: Players online time
It has been proposed already. My opinion is: ok, but just if it is going to be an option you can swtich on/off. Were I to be forced having my friends know when I log, I would remove all friends immediately.

Re: Players online time
In addition to on/off switch for last logon, let's expand and add a show/no show map location. there are times when I don't want my location broadcast on the map. nothing personal against friends, but sometimes you just want to game solo without a barrage of messagesardesia wrote:It has been proposed already.

Re: Players online time
Very good points stated above.
I would also like to add, that you can rest assured, this "feature" would be abused.
Planting spies/thieves in other clans is completely within the rules; it's a common tactic too.
If they can't get into your clan, maybe they'll just try to friend all its members.
Now imagine, that these spies wouldn't need to be online to know more about you.
They could just log on for a minute, and know when you were last online, without much effort.
Wouldn't be hard to figure out who is on at what time of the day.
This would enable them to plan attacks on players and buildings when they're most vulnerable.
A good feature, but should be optional, and selectable who has access to this info and who doesn't.

Re: Players online time
Good points well made. I've been converted as the negatives seem to outweigh the positives.

Re: Players online time
Thought provoking... and while we are on the topic, it would be great if when you clicked on a name in your friends list, it also showed their current clan; oh and how about increasing the number of friends one can have
