Message Time Stamps - Suggestion
« on: February 14, 2015, 06:41:55 pm »
I think a good idea would be Timestamps on all types of messages you receive in-game. Whether its a trade, Private Message or an Announcement.
I also think that players will benefit greatly from this, has it can  help players in numerous ways for certain things.
Tell me what you think?
Agree or Disagree?

So for example, If you receive a message of any sort, you can see the exact time you have received the message, i think personally it will be a great addition to the game

Ok, heres my explanation:
A timestamp is a sequence of characters or encoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, usually giving date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a small fraction of a second. In our case a specific time. A timestamp is the time at which an event is recorded by a computer, not the time of the event itself. In many cases, the difference may be inconsequential: the time at which an event is recorded by a timestamp (e.g., entered into a log file) should be close to the time of the event. This data is usually presented in a consistent format, allowing for easy comparison of two different records and tracking progress over time; the practice of recording timestamps in a consistent manner along with the actual data is called timestamping. The sequential numbering of events is sometimes called timestamping.
So for "Emps" it can help keep records of certain things, i.e Transactions. Or when you create a certain agreement with a player, for instance a Loan. Ok that might sound stupid, but im not on emps 24/7, but whenever im logged in emps and away from my keyboard, and i see certain Annoucments of events or trades or even messages from friends, it will help knowing what time u receive them at. And could help staff members in some ways if you think practically and out side the box.

Understand now?

You mean like a  game system  logs timestamp, where every player transactions, login/logout time, message sent and received ?

That information is already tracked and is accessible for staff members. The suggestion is about adding something like this to the in-game chat:

No i meant that as an example, and im talking about in-game not the forums, which is available for normal players, not a specific rank (Staff Member - Admin/Mods).
seriously i don't know how to dumb it down further for you guys to understand.
Its Simple, ok fine heres
  AN EXAMPLE :

But imagine it WITH EVERY TYPE OF MESSAGE U RECEIVE, e.g. Private Message, Announcement, Examine (When u click on a object/item).
It simply gives you the time of which that action has happened!
Seriously thats it! Nothing Else!
