Is it possible to tell how long a user has been registered for? : GameSparks

I know that the system will tell us if a user has been registered with the system previously or not, but is there any way (from client or server/script code) to tell how long a user's account has been registered?

For our analytics system we want to track how long a user has been active in a game - is this something that is possible to do out of the box?

Thanx in advance,

Hey Mike,

I have a solution for you from one of our tech-people.

var createdDate = new Date(parseInt(Spark.getPlayer().getPlayerId().substring(0,8), 16)*1000);

This will get you the creation time as UTC datetime so you may have to parse that back for your own use.

Hey Mike,

That is currently not available. However, that data is stored in the player collection, so i've submitted a feature request for it to be added to the SparkPlayer object. I'll let you know as soon as its ready.

In our latest release we have added a call that lets you to get the date the player was created.
