I am used to RPing in MUDs, where I can log everything that transpires around me. I would like this feature available to me in GW2. Note that I am not asking for anything that does not already exist; there is no doubt that ArenaNet has to log everything that occurs within the game. They simply need to implement a mechanism for me to log everything in the chat window. I could even perform this odious task manually, if I were a glutton for pain.

I will give you 2 examples of why I want this:

1) I role play a lot. If anything noteworthy occurs, I turn it into a song or a story. While I allow myself a certain amount of leeway for a song, I try to be as accurate as possible for a story. This can be difficult if the story takes place over a couple of hours and many people are involved.

2) I get into a confrontation with someone in my guild (for example). The issue is escalated to a leader. Now, I have to rely on my recollections of the event, the recollection and veracity of the other party and the recollection of any witnesses, all of which may be deemed unreliable. If there is a log, there is no ambiguity.

Anet, any work being done on implementing chat logs? I don’t RP, but would still appreciate that feature, because I often get some very helpful hints and information in game that are lost because I can’t save them. There are many other reasons to enable chat logging, too. I’m sure you are aware of most of them.

I bind all of my keys to Gravedigger and rapidly roll my face across the keyboard while screaming
“I am teh Leetness!” at the top of my lungs, while rubbing baby oil all over myself.

This sounds like a great idea, I tend to relive glorious moments in screen shot form alone so far…

When life offers you two paths, take the third road.

Yeah, chatlogs are a fabulous idea. I’m relying on screenshots too, so far. (At least it is easy to take screenshots in game.)

People who can argue often offer a good and meaningful conversation about the subject.
People who can’t tend to call the opponent troll, scream something utterly incomprehensible
and finally result to personal insults.
