Allow a console command to check ping
Pretty straight forward request. It would be rather nice to be able to check one's ping without using CMD (or other shells/terminals) or logging out.

Re: Allow a console command to check ping
Technically impossible!
Console commands are executed on the server. At most we could ping your client address from the server and report the result, but for various reasons pinging residential addresses often doesn't work.
Getting your client to do something different would need a custom client - i.e. something special you download to modify your client's behaviour (like an override, but no override would do this).

Re: Allow a console command to check ping
We'd need NwNCX to do this. Implementing NwNCX isn't outside of the realm of possibility, but I think it's safe to say that won't happen any time soon -- and if we did, we probably wouldn't develop a plugin specifically for this.
Filing into rejected for now.
