QoL + new use for Info Terminals

So right now, the infamous Info Terminals are nonfunctional because...well, I'm not really sure why, but my theory is that they were disabled because they were silly and no one used them. Anyway, they're dead, and could use a new function.

The game currently tracks at least the following statistics for character, each linked to civilians whose names begin with the letter:
E - Official Real Time (based upon where Cryptic is located)
F - Official Paragon City Time (in-game time)
G - Number of heroes in the current zone you are in
H - Lists random names of other heroes in current zone
M - Gives total time played, for current hero, since hero creation
N - Number of times you've logged into the game with current hero
O - How long you've been logged in today with current hero (seems buggy though, resets after every indoor mission)
J - gives statistics on how many times you've used a power today.
K - gives statistics on how much damage you have dealt with your powers today.

(Note: I copied this list from GameFAQs, first place I knew where to find it. It's certainly very out of date, as some civilians will now only say "Nice day, huh?")

Problem: Sometimes it's a real pain to hunt down the civilian you want. I once found myself wondering if Sharkhead even had any civilians whose names started with M.

Solution: Use Info Terminals to relay this and similar information! There are other ways to get some of the information in this list (i.e., real time, number of heroes in-zone) but it would be cool to see it consolidated in a single area. One addition I'd really like to see is creation date for the character you're playing. I have a lot of characters who have gathered dust for a while at low levels before I picked them back up to play again, and it would be interesting to see how long it's been.

I don't recall villains having any info terminals of their own, but it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with an Arachnos version.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Sounds like a good idea to me, even if they brought them back online i would like them to display that info.

Sounds good to me, /signed

I agree that the Info Terminals are... terminally useless, but this kind of trivia wouldn't make them much more useful, functional or otherwise.

Why not repurpose them into bulletin boards? Like an in-game version of the forum calendar? They could become a place to announce forming teams, task forces and other events, set them to expire either after a set amount of time or until the player logs out or whenever the player or character is logged in {"For a good time team PST Team Leader Man!"}

Edit: Aw, strikethrough don't work.
