Would be a nice feature if I log in to the website and see pilots and the countries they are flying for on here. Not sure if this has been suggested before, if so please disregard.

Man that would take a feat of coding like no other.

Not to mention the data passthru out of the arena box...

maybe just a redesign of the online login with a non-interactive buddylist or something.

Maybe a list of names that update ever 5 min. Say players name then the country, like B,K,R, and arena like E,M,L

example

Playa 1 - B E
Playa 2 - B E
Playa 3 - K M
Playa 4 - R L
_________
Total Playas
E - 2
M - 1
L - 1

Considering this is feature is in a ton of online games, I am quite sure it isn't that hard to code. If you can make an online game I am quite sure you can figure out how to code it so a web browser can access in game stats.

Oh wait a second, the scores are updated on the web page. Court adjorned

Its been brought up before and I wasnt for it then and aint for it now. Not saying its a bad idea by any means, but I have also been whitness to how this type of setup could hurt a game.

Long story short:

Some folks will look to see who is on before logging in to game. They wont see who they want to see and wont bother. Meanwhile the bud they were looking for is doing the same thing and being as they dont see their bud on, they are most likely not to log on either.

In the end not many people are logged on and soon lose intrest. Not saying it will happen like that here, but its a gamble I'd like to not see.
