Timeline?
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2019 4:59 pm
Would it be possible to get a page somewhere on the website (similar to the front page server status) that has a short history of zoneflips/forts and their resolutions on it? I'm imagining something like a logfile:
So, abstractly:
Keeping a log like this in public view would let people see what time(s) of day the server is active, as well as (if history is kept) help track general RvR population. It might even encourage people to log in if they see that, for instance, one side or the other is pushing for fort. (If that's not desired, just delaying the updates by a few hours will make that not useful)
It will also make it easier to answer questions like "who won the last fort" which is important if you want to know who the coming fort is a campaign-ender for.
It would also let there be real data behind "Defending Keep X is impossible" and "Order never lose if they have Keep Y".
Clearly not a high priority, but I also don't think it'd be that high effort, so maybe somedev will be inspired to knock it out
Extra credit: figure out how to take a snapshot of the Lord room at the time of his death and paste it into the entry.
