My concern:
Player: I died yesterday and the MUD crashed before I could loot my
corpse. Fix it.
Me: <log find "Player was killed">
Jun 28 10:32:56 :: Player was killed by the Bad Monster
Jun 28 11:34:23 :: OtherImp has entered the game
Jun 28 11:34:45 :: OtherImp has shutdown the game
Jun 28 11:45:06 :: Player un-renting and entering the game
Me: You didn't log in after you died for at least an hour. Your corpse
would have decomposed by then. Sorry.
Player: Curses, Imp! You are too clever for us naughty people!
This is just an example, but I'm sure one can see how this might be
useful. As for the e-mail bit, having direct access to current logs
seems to be important to me, rather than having to wait for the next
"log mail" before one can look and verify a player's claims.
Just my two-cents worth.
