Also, IPs are simply an identification to your computer. Most websites, online games, and practically everything you do on the internet has in some way handled your IP.
I just think, even though this probably won't be implemented, that this could be on to something.

It isn't so much that the IP is just a simple identifier, I recognise this, but
some people do not understand that and do not take comfort in the fact that their identity maybe could be revealed to others. A lot of users on the internet are paranoid enough about security and privacy.
Quite some time ago, I would have thought that a
player.ip variable would have been a good idea, however having been a global for some time now, I realise that players have quite a cloud of paranoia surrounding the protection of their identities.
