I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet. What needs to happen, is HCS needs to make one chat for each thing. One for buffs, one for selling gear, one for players, one for help, etc, etc. This way, you don't have to worry about too much spam, and hopefully, you can get what you need or say what you need without your messages getting lost to quickly. Also, the names in the chat should have direct links to profiles, and maybe even the auction house. The ignore function will be implemented with this, so, this is all I have to say. =) Thanks for thinking about this feature HCS! I think it will be a good part to the game.

how about taking it a step further and having 2 tabs in the chat window 1 being world(public) chat and other tab being guild(private) chat?

i see this as a waste of resources/time, anyone whos been here a while already knows how to communicate with other players by the various means,, on the map? terrible...
the only good i can see of this feature would be to give mentor/noobie - karma stuff its own page and put this chat feature there.

I think this have the potential of killing of Fsbox. also there should be a way to prevent players from spamming the chat, i hate spams.

The prevention of spam could/should also be a way to keep advertisements out of the chat and kept in the FSBox. Chat isn't cluttered, and FSBox doesn't die. Ideally, anyway.

adding more window candy to distract people from other game issues you have repeatedly made promises and given timelines to fix and still have not done them..how about you finish everything that is half done first.

love the idea....sorta wondering though why this hasnt been dreamed up alot sooner....kind of the basics here to have a world chat in terms of promoting interaction, anyways its a great idea and the ignore list as previously mentioned and a few moderators to maintain order is a must
i look foward to this being added

personally I would prefer to see added to the game the same sort of chat box on every map where you can talk to people on that particular map, same way as we do over in SS2. would make a lot of change for hunting elites or titans.
a world chat similar to the one on SS2 is not a bad idea, as long as we can make it small and stick it in a corner so as it not to be in the way when doing other things, and also as long as we can disable it when not wanting to participate in the chat..
bring it on
as for private chats that is seen mentioned, no point, if people want to talk privately, then send pm's..no need to make a separate chat for that

We could add the chat as a separate page, but add an option so you can also be able to view it below the map as well?

That would work, then those who want it there on the map have it, and those who prefer it not be on the map are happy too.

I do not think that a live chat would be beneficial if added to the game. I've seen way too many abuses of it in other games. There are plenty of ways to communicate with other people in the game, with guild chat, PM's and the FSBox that I don't really see the benefit of chat. There are simply too many immature people who would abuse it, with their language, or possible badmouthing of other players, etc., I'm sorry to say.
Were it to be implemented there would have to be very strict rules and penalties for infractions.

since I see you might be here... any thoughts on the ability to create private chatrooms that can be created by players to invite others into. Or multiple public chat rooms that can be joined, instead of just one worldwide chat room?

This is a much needed feature. I don't think the community is so large that you will find any issues with chat log being full all the time. You'll see a ton of chat at first but it will die down as the initial charm wears off. I see it being spammed by merchants but that is unavoidable. This will be a great feature for newer players as well so that they don't have to spam the message box all the time or PM players.
Good job cows!

please finish fixing other aspects before moving on to implementing something *new and shiny*
I like the idea of communicating with others in a chat, but I'll stick to skype. ( cows don't read what is said there
)
For others tho, I do hope there will be mods or ways to avoid the * not so friendly players*

I really like the idea of more advanced chat system... but I would like to be able to do it with allies and other guild members. The pm and even guild chat we have is a bit clunky and slow..i would like something similar to irc type style incorporated if you know what i mean...I am not sure I like the idea of the sigma storm style chat system it would be too easy to abuse and an ignore list would also be handy. world wide chat just gets messy. But would love to be able to chat with allies in a room or something like that...Also anything that slows down the game play is not worth it.

just quickly my 2 cents. this could be a great addition for the Dev chats but other wise i say as a always active world chat.
Devalues the FS Box
would get massive spammed
would need constant moderation that i am not convinced it would get.
would lag the game massively if it is on the map screen plus putting it under the map screen restricts how much room it has and anyone that has seen a world chat knows they can move rather fast so in that case would be impossible to read.
activate it for Dev chats and only Dev chats, at least at first. maybe use it as a starting point but personally i dont like the idea for all the time

Hi all,
We're just looking for your thoughts on us adding chat to the game. The idea would be to have it under the map and allow you to talk to all other online players. We could also do cool things like highlight chat messages from other players in your guild.
So basically, is this something you would like to see added to the game?
I've long felt that some form of extended chat beyond guild chat was sorely needed. Here's how I would address it:
1) Leave FSBox alone, and identify it as the only acceptable in-game place for commercial posts. You want to sell buffs, announce gear sales, try to find buyers for your hand-farmed blood blooms? That's the place to do it. Any other messages could also be posted there, if someone wants to pay the fee, provided that the message meets the normal standards for FSBox.
2) Allow guilds to form "alliances" (as many of them already do). Allied guilds would share their guild chat. Their respective guild leader chats would remain private.
The only way a "world chat" would work is if you can afford to have a dedicated staff member monitor it 24/7 (something I doubt you can). The volume of trouble tickets you can expect to be generated would completely overwhelm your customer service staff. I like it conceptually, but feel it is impractical.

why not add a button/tab on the side that opens the chat at the bottom of the screen and it be there as you go through the pages as you play, wouldnt that be easier? and when you just dont want to see it or be in the chat anymore just click the tab/button to close/turn it off
