One thing that should be easy to implement within the chat system. An alarm clock, example use:
/alarm 2:15 "You need to go to sleep now."
/alarm <- command
2:15 <- hrs:minutes until the alarm is set off
"You need.. " <- Message that will come in a tiny pop-up window after 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Now that is something I could use =)
Of course, you can always just set up a scipt/program of your choice to be ran at the scheduled time (forcing an alt-tab out of AO), but I really think this would be great =)

some of us already have this ... haven't you ever heard anyone say in team chat:
"Ah #@$! gotta go - just drew wife-aggro" ?
How about hrs:min:sec? What I'd use an alarm clock for is to give advance warning when various nanos running on Mobs or teammates are going to expire. At least we now get a notice when DoTs and Charms expire, but I'd like to know about 10 secs beforehand so I could get prepared. Also I sometimes run buffs on teammates that I don't run on myself, and it be nice to know when to rebuff them without them having to ask.
In terms of implementation, I'd like something like a little flashing indicator off to the side that had a label I could specify at the time of initiating the timer.
LOL Shodu, u amaze me in game and crack me up on the boards hehe!
Helpbot is sometimes lagged or down.
An in-game user-settable timer would be great.
/alarm 05:58:00 "Cast a new GA, yer about to be nekkidfixer."
