Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Indeed. That's a suggestion I posted several years ago as a petition but was shutdown both swiftly and fast.
It would be an AWESOME addon/service ... just being able to keep tabs on whats happening ingame when at work or while traveling etc.
But, I guess one would have to create a new thread since it differs quite a lot from this, from my viewpoint, smaller initial step :)

This highlighting is a fantastic idea.

I also like the concept of being able to listen in and chat while outside the game client.

We should be able to do that with all channels, since chat content does not rely on being logged in to have value.

Imagine the noob help chats where offline players can give hints and tips from their IM client or cell phone IM.
Corp CEO or alliance directors who are always logged in and can monitor official channels.
System chat where players who are logged off can relay details about mining and ratting concerns, or warn about hostile threats.
Intel channels where players can report details to each other and communicate information about battle plans.

Many already use jabber or other offline chats to duplicate this, I believe we should level the playing field and make it available as a game feature, and connect us to each other more effectively.
