     The old Logger basically did this. Note that it is currently being rewritten, 
because it stayed in the cold for so long that it wasn't working anymore (and 
nobody obviously cared about it).

     *hum* again, the logger code for that kind of thing appeared in 2001 (it went 
to use on MiDS's server) - it used the logger alongside PHP pages and a 
postgresql database to do the job. There weren't really inter-server 
facilities, since those simply didn't exist at the time in the server.

The problem was that it wasn't easy to set up. Furthermore, when the skill 
system changed, the plugin didn't get updated and became partly broken. Since 
it was in such a bad shape, I scrapped it during the plugin v2.0 transition a 
couple of days ago and am in the process of rewriting it.

If you want to have a look at the old logger capabilities, just download one 
of the current "stable" server packages and have a look at the content of 
plugin_logger/. 
     http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~crossfire
      should also still 
hold records of the logger, although the server seems down ATM.

Expect the rewrite to have about the same functionalities as the old version, 
but hopefully with a cleaner, better implementation :).
