MotD and Login History for Linkshells

[Bixby]

I'm all for it, as long as we can turn off getting the MotD on login, or make it so the message only forces itself into the chat log if it's new. Getting hit with potentially 9 MotDs plus server announcements on every log in will get old real quick otherwise.

But I'd be really surprised if we saw it even in 3.0's life cycle. Almost every time SE discusses UI features in any depth, they talk about resource strain and how tightly everything already fits. It's why the buff/debuff display is so limited, it's why Focus Target took so long for PS3, it's why we don't have a text-list inventory option. They've said specifically that they want to keep server strain to a minimum with LSes.

I was thinking of just having a short message box that would be above members list for each linkshell, that way it's there every time someone checks on status of that linkshell, instead of only flashing once at login.

Devs already commented on this that implementation of LS and FC are different and LS is basically a chat channel that does not store any information like log history etc, so it's not possible to add last login time for LS (without reworking whole LS system).

Except that info is already stored on servers and displayed on FC members window. It's already available, no need for linkshell to store anything, just extract it.

And what to do with people who are not in FC? As far as I understand this info stored as FC channel info - no FC = no info.
