Adding message system - about this (if my memory is good) users were talking here...
Password - I think it is a good Idea
Friends list - it can help sometimes
An about tournament - yea, it would be nice to know when next tournament will be organized

I just looked at a game with an integrated in-game AIM client. I forgot which game, but those guys could probably help someone write one for wesnoth. If I remember I'll link it.

Password is a great idea

Please, 1) do a search before posting an idea, and 3) don't post it in an unrelated thread.

On these ideas:

Passwords added to accounts: What accounts? There are no accounts on the official server and IMHO it should stay that way.

Friends List: OK, store it in your preferences file as a list of names that you are "friends" with.

PM system: It depends in what context. If you mean when in the lobby, sure, thats fine. But if you mean you should be able to PM a specific person who you are playing a MP game with, this has been discussed thoroughly before and rejected. Please do a search to see why.

Ouch......

In that case i believe Wesnoth would need to make accounts then with passwords that way people can not enter on someone elses name.

For example say PG is holding one of his tournaments.. If i had a friend i could simply ask him to enter in the players name and enter the official wesnoth server and play a game with me and allow me to win. So it would be like having someone take the place of another person without anyone else knowing because all the people in wesnoth have to identify a person is their account name which is not protected by anything meaning anyone can simply sign on to that name. With a password my friend would not be able to enter onto that persons account.

And a friends list would be a convinence wouldnt it? .. Also i was wondering where i could find the information on their talk about private messeges?

I dont' however agree with the giving gold to ally's if you think it over you should know why.

I would assume that, with PG's tournaments, both sides have to agree they did in fact take part in the match. BUT, the thing is, tournaments and organized gameplay require different features anyway. I could definitely see having a separate tournament server, which did require logins. But i don't think it should be done to the main server.

An option would be to have it like many IRC servers, including Freenode:

You can enter the server as now, however you can also choose to 'register' your nickname. If you register your nickname, then others can't use it, and it's password protected.

Players would be able to see if other players have a registered nick.

Dont get the point entering the server and play with another guy nick... I think that is really "childishly"(dont know if that word exist) ^^

YesI was about to sugest that idea too.

La palabra es "childish".

Anyways, uhm, a lot of these may/may not be valid concerns, but I really think that they should focus more on ironing all the bugs out of multi first. Me, blessedly, I have nothing to do with this - I just iron out the graphics.

I will say, though, that I like the freenode approach to "accounts".
