Summary

0004447: Friend "notification" in-game when friend account logs in

Description

It would be nice if you could receive a message in-game telling you that one of your friends just logged on. The auth server would "ping out" messages between logged-in friend accounts where it states that "x is now online".
Though the auth server shouldn't be pinging out a message every time a client connects to a server, there would have to be a cool-down period in case the user would hop between many servers before settling. And maybe not ping out to other accounts if the server is local/LAN. This would work best if the login system was integrated with server browsers like Doom Explorer and Doomseeker.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

The messages would have to be suppressed in client demos.
