MotD and Login History for Linkshells

[Itseotle]

It would be a different story if the request was for LS Housing or LS Actions. It's not. It's a request for the most basic functionality of a social system; letting your know when your friends are online. Hell, we don't even have that. I can't think of an MMO that I've played in the past decade that DID NOT give you the option to be notified if/when your friends are online.

Yes and what I was reffering to was a quote about basic chat functions, not Housing, perks, or other FC benefits.

Agreed. I've posted lengthy posts about this in the past, and would still like these options. I never received a response, but I hope you do. I understand it may not be easy to implement, but if demand is high enough, maybe they would look into it more.

For those saying an LS is just a chat-channel, you are not playing the game to it's full extent. LS' are used for FC alliances, Hunts (not so much anymore), friends outside of FC, World Bosses, Raid groups, FC leaders, and RP. There's probably more, but I'm drawing a blank. Point is, LS' have many purposes beyond a social chat. If you make a friend or 2 during a pug, and they are close with their FC but would still like to keep in touch for other pugs, LS' are perfect (especially since you can't receive /tells in Duty, so FL is kind of moot). FC's are limiting in that you can only have 1. You can have many LS', and that's their biggest benefit for the social part of this game, which everyone is always playing. That's how mine has always worked, and we have more members in the LS than the FC.

I don't mean to sound condescending but what you just described was a chat channel. A place to "talk", and it doesn't necessarily mean just on a social level. But I do agree, I use LSs for communicating for various activities as well, and I still think a simle MotD function would be great, but I'm not banking on it either.
