Are you talking about real-life timestamps? There are some issues wrt to various time zones, which might make it tricky unless UCT were used. But that makes the time information a lot less user-friendly (except for the British ;). To support local time zones, the information couldn't just be substituted in the text when the chat item was produced. It would involve a more complicated data structure for chat line items, and then a display routine for it. That would also be necessary for it to be turned on and off. Or do you mean a game-time related timestamp, perhaps tied to turn tracker state?
