You can't see when a player is online or not... so how about changing the colour of that players name in the battlefield when they're on?

It's been used before, thaught it might be handy

I don't feel it's necessary.
This was brought up in ATW and hotly debated.

It adds some strategy to massing when you don't know when some one is online, and implementing this would doubtless slow up the server by a least a little.
To be sure, another reason was to assist good trades... but with the broker, PPT, MSN, and all those other fancy gadgets - again, I don't think it's necessary.

Yeah I dont like that if you trade heavily they could sit there and watch you if they had time on there hands and just mess your game up literally. I dont like this idea at all.

Also, if you don't do anything for more then 30 mintues, the game logs you out... so that could be deceiving...
