When trasnferring files on any instant messenger, your ip is avaiable if you try hard enough to find it.
And I don't know if it would be useful, but using your ip to locate your city or region, and let you know which players are near you...I know a lot of sites that use that...just for fun i guess, so you can see what players live near you.
But, it could also be used for alot of good things...

The "players near you" is exactly the kind of thing that Stefan is worried about, I think, even if it was an "opt-in" thing.
And yes, I've gotten IPs before via GS2 and PHP with about 10 lines when the two are combined. It's not difficult, but not ideal (since it happens to be breaking a few rules).
