I'm sure most of you guys remember the old Planetside.com and how it had a live feed of territories and who owned them, as well as the ability to scroll through a timeline and see what the hell happened to your home continents as your teammates dicked around on Cyssorside.
It was one of the simple things that impressed me most and really made the persisting battles feel real; even when you weren't there, you know the battlefield was constantly changing and you could follow it when you weren't at your desktop.
I also loved how it declared a "winner for the day", since it really gave you a tangible goal to work to each day (as you could never "win", and even sanc locking was very few and far between).
It really strikes me as a no-brainer, especially considering the developments since the original. Imagine checking an app on your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to see what is going on from just about anywhere. Who else want to see this return for PS2?
