My who list reports what accounts are logged in. This allows you to
(potentially) know what humans are currently playing, but you don't
necessarily have any idea what characters they are controlling, or
what bodies those characters are running. It really gives very little
effective data for game-play, and just enough for socialising.

Nice idea -- a user run and user opted into or out of publicity
method. Of course you then also have the notices of log outs, or
missing notices to the same effect.
Hurm. Sounds like Usenet.
