I'm not sure but i think it used to be like this in the past?

Only intra fam members can see if their fam members are online or not, no external player could see this.

In my eyes this would make wars more interesting and the opposite forces cannot plan to attack when you are o are not online and make advantage of this.

When trying to raid someon it get's more tricky because you do not know if the player is online or not.
