They have not done so in the past, AFAIK. Clients can write such events to
a client gamelog even though they don't get the string from the server
(they know what happened from other packets). But if you really think this
is a crucial argument, I can find a way to mark them as debug messages and
a way to output debug messages (similar to /debug in the server). I just
want them gone from the player display.

'maxplayers' option set.
