It's already done. You can see who's been online in the last 15 minutes

Yes that would be splendid idea and also make online/offline feature available to Clan Members and Friends.
I would like to suggest/request or both regarding status of online/offline.
For example i have 3 friends and 2 of them are online and one of them is offline.
now the 1st: 2 online friends in my friends list are online which will be under the online group and the 2nd : is the 1 of the 3 is offline and will go under the offline group ...and each player friends/Clan members will be shown under offline will show 'offline for 6 hours' or Offline for 2 days or Offline for 8 Months/1 year and 6 months, etc.

My point is here that Each player withing the Warzone/Warlight game could be able to see their friends and clan mates their online/offline status so it would be nice to see who is online and who is offline and for how long. Instead of Going to Players Profile and you will see This player was offline for such and such...but I am suggesting to make an option for the Clans have such option in Clan Page or something like that to make Members status Online Offline. More Organised. And as for Friends list also. filter for offline and online groups separately or combined.
This is good for the warzone community to have offline/online mode available

so 613 votes later... (or 204 people minimum)

Yeah and friendships should be mutual: one player requests friendship to another player who's free to accept it or decline it

And also being able to chat with them, something Facebook-like

Whats the hold up!!! get this running

This feature could be put near the existing friend list.

and maybe a little notification sort of thing when they log in

please make also the option to "hide" or deactived this feature

something like skype, you can select if you are away, do not disturb and stuff like that

This is Arun: Perhaps a green dot next to the player name on the invite list.

Yes I agree, Online Status could be great and should be integrate with the MP system.

I support DarkCausX in all he said and especially the last :

"and if you dont move in 10 minutes the page you will get a AFK sing"

thoug this each players hould be able to set in their settings, but it is important considering some people just have their computer running being logged into Warlight all day whitout actually being there.

i would prefer something like 20 minutes thoug, 10 mins would just make it say far to often players are ofline thoug they are in the game but just reading some chats.

gotta get this up and running some it would defnetly improve this wonderful game

Global Status like:

Players online:
Fizzer,DarkCausX,Troll,sue,eagle,Cuchuainn,X,lol,noob,Ai,etc

and if someone in the list is your friend is goin to be in color

and if you dont move in 10 minutes the page you will get a AFK sing.

What qualifies a person as 'online'? I'm sure Fizzer knows the best way to do this.

if this feature is ever implemented, i would hope there would be a settings option of being able to "hide" so you can choose not to show up online. :)
