    While we're at it, how about an option to get a system message when a member of the Linkshell comes online. Would be handy for friends as well.

    Let's play, then. You folks keep asking without reading, we'll keep posting easily avaliable info.

While Free Companies have specific databases where historical information is kept, Linkshells are designed to function as a chat channel, and use the least amount of information possible in order to reduce the strain on servers. Login history, specifically in this case, is not recorded internally.

    Therefore, unfortunately we cannot add a last logged in display for Linkshell members.

    Did you even bother reading what I wrote? I'm not asking for it to archive and display historical data. I'm asking for it to generate a system message when a member comes online much like Free Companies do now. The system needs zero additional tracking for this to work. It already has to check online status in order to display them as being online in the actual Linkshell window. All I'm asking is for the option to have that display in our chat window as "<characterName> is online." because frankly, this is functionality that should be there for both Free Companies, Linkshells, and for our Friend List. It's not additional database space, it's half a dozen lines of code at best.
