Playing time indicator

Post by Henry » Sat May 07, 2011 5:39 pm

Another line of the profile page,
Playing time: <time the player has spent online in his entire time playing>

I.e.
Playing time: 20 days, 7 hours, 22 minutes

why not? its much more reliable on telling how long some one has played than achievements (this would be hidden along with achievements and medals when hide achievements is checked)

i dont want it on the profile, thats stupid and annoying. but on GW there is a /age command, which tells you how much time you've spent on that character, and the total time spent on all the characters.

this would be neat. id have been interested in knowing how much time i played.

Ship colors provide customization, a long wanted treat to SGE persons. but this does nothing of the sort. I see no definitive purpose!

if a time indicator is added, it needs to be invisible to others, or i will use it against you in ways you can't imagine.

i dont want it to be visible to others, just to bring that up again. and GW, they have this on GW. just so you can know how long you've played. its kind of neat. because i have no idea how much ive played sge, or over what period of time. i mean i have an idea.. but.. im probably a year off, and i have no idea how id go about estimating time spent playing.

it'd just be something fun to know. it would be the same as ship colors, but on a smaller scale because it wouldnt be as exciting.

i just think its unnecessary. i dont care what people think of how much time i spend on sge, anyone who plays can guess how much time ive spent on there. no more fuel is needed for insult fires, it should be a fun add-on.

For this to be Implemated, toonces needs Profit From it,
Say a /PublicTime GRAWRG Command, which in turn would do:

>>>>>Message From Admin: Player GRAWRG has played Starport Galactic Empires for a total of 2 Years, 8 Months, 2 Weeks, 3 Days, 14 Hours, 52 Minutes, and 13 Seconds

Scream that to all servers and make it a No-Lifer Command :lol:

unfortunatly no one who plays SGE has a life, so calling some one a no lifer on this game has no effect

jesusrocks, your trolling around the forums looking for any comment to flame of grawrg, whom you have never met in real life, and your saying she has no life?

considering your actions im confused where you think you have the authority to make the claim she has no life, when your actions CLEARLY prove you have none yourself.

its really a darn shame toonces hasn't forum banned you yet.

the awesomeness of this post overwhelmed me. largely because i just finished sending a response (to my latest board warning) to toonces about how i should be able to take my frustration out on jesusrocks if he's going to stupidly attack every post i make and consequently devalue any topic i post in.

You dont realize you flame as much as if not more than JR does, and generally, though certainly not necessarily, hes right. Some times though hes clearly the instigator, but i would say you both do it.
