[whosonline ?

So was just thinking, with our growing population, will this command be too revealing? Will it be abused? Does the good it bring outweigh the bad?
If people want to break into someones home, or steal someone's chickens *eyes around*, they can simply use [whosonline command to check if the coast is clear?
Or if they are mining, chopping wood or standing at the forge late at night, they can do the same and see if any evildoers are about.

I personally would like the command to just show the number of users online, not the individual users by name.

Thoughts?

This sound like a good idea.

This command could be available only to GMs, Event Moderators and Councilors perhaps?

The GMs already have their own version of the command. [whosonline was specifically to help players find out when other people are online. I do see how it can be abused, though.

Lol, I just used it for the first time right now. I rather like it, if you see all the militia people are on you can figure that there is probably an event you missed and feel rather rubbish about it. On the other hand could really help if your character is looking for someone but they aren't on you don't have to spend a huge amount of time looking, you can just RP not being able to find them and move on for the moment.

Yeah, I kinda like the command for checking who is on as well - you can quickly loggin and check if there probably will be some RP to be found

It's pretty good for knowing whether it's worth staying online.
