Could we be able to see the players online in every map?

It would certainly liven up the pvp realms

Maybe we could include the on/off green light so we can know if they're online or have been recently. I was thinking about suggesting a limit on the amount of time messages stay up in realm chat too, that way we could get a better feel for the activity level in any given area since all the messages would be recent.. but then I realized if I got my way, advertisers would probably have a newfound fondness for me in PvP zones so I thought better of it. =)

I was referring to simply have a number below the area name about those online in the last 20 minutes (same code as the one used for green lights )
Imagive a PvP area with 20 people in it, and only 1-2 in the healing facility..it means looking around the repair-shop will be fun!!
As for the area chat, maybe a date and time next to it would work too? Same like faction chat posts..

As for the list... I was just thinking about it and thought maybe they could have a new option under the action menu entitled 'Realm' or "Current Realm' that when pressed would bring up a list not much unlike what we have with manage under the faction menu. They could have every player who's in the realm listed plus they could color code by how recent they were active. Maybe green until 6 minutes of inactivity, yellow until 12 and then off.
I'm not postive we would get that much use out of something like that but it's probably a good way to enhance the online feeling we're all supposed to be getting by being able to get a sense of the comings and goings one would expect in an actual real life environment, a way to reinforce the fact that we're playing this game with other people. Realm chat already does this but I think it can be kicked up a notch.
What do you guys think? more mm feeling in our mmorpg?
Edit - I just want to add that they really did a much better job of getting that feeling in this game than they did with FS. Just the fact that we need to go to the same places(shop,mechanic,factory) means we will all keep meeting up, as soon as I started playing this game and saw that I said to myself "ahhhh I see what they're doing.. very clever" and of course realm chat just made it that much better so umm yeah... props to the team on that

Apart from the locations on the map though, the feel that we are witnesses to the first steps of a game is awesome too!! i just wish more people gave their input in the forums

Think about it.. BigGrim could come around everyday and thin out all the excess fluff with his BigGrim "Feet of Doom" and no idea, no matter how good - would be immune... unless they're mine, since I'm the creator of the whole feet of doom.. thing(special privileges and stuff) So.. what do you guys think, sweet idea right?... or..... is that a giant boot I see in my future?
Btw - Every map... able to see.... could we be... players online. I've just magically made my post relevant to the current topic. [Kyle exits the forum at a brisk pace as though being chased by a marathon walker]

This idea is a good one there just isn't much I can comment on it other than it is a good idea and I can bring it up in meetings the next time we have one! Along with all the other ideas.
