Playtime is a plugin for tracking numerous times for particular players. Currently within its release stage, it can track the time that a player has been online, been alive for, and how long they have played on the server in total. It currently supports three forms of data management, which are MySQL, SQLite, and flat file storage using yaml files. There is also tracking of AFK players (if you wish to enable it), and I try to keep everything within this plugin as configurable as possible. Please, if you have any type of feedback at all, don't hesitate to leave a comment! I usually try to add new ideas within a week of requesting it if I deem that it is appropriate for the plugin.
News: Playtime-2.0.0!
There are plans for an upcoming re-write of the Playtime plugin in its entirety! You can view the notes on this update at the link below:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/playtime/pages/development/#w-upcoming-features
This will add some major overhauls, including an incredible re-write of the event system, finally fixing the event system to allow for player-defined events after a certain time period.
Have questions on the update, or need help with the plugin in general? Leave a comment below or feel free to talk to me direct via IRC: #codelanx

Metrics Stats
Playtime uses metrics, which keeps track of information such as OS, player count, java version, and other specific information in an anonymous fashion. You can view the collected information by clicking the graph below, and it is used for any potential future development for specific groups that develop within statistics:
This can be disabled in the Metrics configuration for all plugins, under plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml , and set "opt-out" to true. Keep in mind this will make your server not report any information, and I love stats almost as much as cats </3
