Website/forum chat

(1/3) > >>

Jazzza:
I suggest a realtime chat for the website/forum. It could be IRC, it could be AJAX, although I think a lot of people are biased towards IRC.

Linking into the in-game chat would be a bonus. Since you're already linking in our accounts, it sounds do-able, with some extra elbow grease. Then again I know nothing of how the in-game chat works.

Pickle:
You can just open the game in another window an access Global chat.. I sometimes do this, reduce the game window and slide it off the screen to the right so that I can only see the chat pane.

Helmic:
The forum I hail from uses Cometchat, fifty dollars and adds a bit of stress to the server hosting the site but it's manageable with this population.  I don't see a great need for it though, we want to keep the meat of the live chatting in Region chat where people can actually invite one another to play the game.

Jazzza:
What do people think about an unofficial IRC channel?

Kyren:
Well, the problem I see with an IRC channel would be that you've got to open it seperately. It's like having the Forum on Firefox, GoIO opened on Steam, and then mIRC started to access the GoIO channel. Unless there was a forum or ingame integration. Linking the ingame chat somewhere off game would be great of course, and I suppose it'd greatly increase its activity. With an IRC Channel that would work just wonderful, I suppose. There'd be a need for programming an IRC bot that copies the ingame chat-information to the IRC channel, though.
