Nope, it won't be a thing that will make people go and buy VIP off the shelves.... would it? as members have the ability to ask staff for it, and staff is usually on.

Could someone explain to me again why they need this command?
I mean If I see my friend was last on 14 hours ago what does that tell me? that he was online 14 hours ago and.... that's it. I mean If my friend stopped playing on the server I presume he would tell me /other people so I would find out if I asked around. And asking the staff if needed is just a small step.
If he was away for 30 mins because he was going to eat it wouldn't be mentioned by /seen(the /afk function is more usefull in this case). If I didn't see my friend for 2 days I'd send them an in-game mail asking about it (this way you could check if they were still playing but at time you're not on). basically I don't get why people need the command I could understand you might wanna know if your friend was online but you could simply ask around and people would most likely give you some kind of response. In my eyes implementing the command for the 5 or so people who are just curious about when their friend was last on is just a way bigger bother than it is worth.
No, its not necessary, but I do think /seen would be nice. Sometimes there are no staff members online, and you remember someone that you haven't seen online in a while. Yeah, I guess you could send em ig mail, but what if they've become inactive? I don't think it would be used often. I don't think we need it implemented. I don't think it would have a huge benefit. But I do think it would be nice to have.
Basically, if it isn't hard to add, I think members should get /seen.
If it is hard to implement, don't bother.
well you see ryuuga, not everyone can send mail....that's a VIP and higher perk. /seen may not tell you when they're coming back online, but it can tell you how long it's been so you can msg them through de forums or other communications. /seen should just be a command that could be used by all except for builders. This would encourage builders to become members then possibly VIP.
In short, make /seen a member and higher perk.
I seriously have no freaking idea who'd become a member just to have /seen, let alone VIP. It can be nice to be implemented, but it mostly depends whether it's hard to allow members to use it or not, let alone it's efficiency, I'm sure using staff to do it like, 2-4 times a week, and I'd do it more if I had the power.

Mail is available for all members+ (has been for a couple of months)
Don't like this, I really expect this to cause problems some day. /seen gives a really precise time, the stalk potential here is quite big. If we do add this then I'd at least prefer to see a command that only gives days and not hours, minutes & seconds.
Adding to that I don't see the need for this at all. Just making a modreq if you ever need to know seems to work fine, it's not like you need /seen daily
How could some one stalk you by knowing when you were on and even if they could this is mc you can just tp away and if it's really bad tell a mod/admin.
don't really see all that much need for this, as all you need to do is ask a staff member and they'll tell you, and it's at least 18 hours a day staffed.
