To avoid so many duplicate threads, please place your ideas and thoughts on a live chat system here.

Initially, we weren't going to do a live chat, but enough users asked for it that Dan has agreed, and we'll add a live chat to the system AFTER we launch AG3. It will NOT be part of the AG3 launch.

Ideas that others have suggested:
- custom channels
- password-protected channels
- kick/ban controls
- moderation controls
- report a user

We don't know yet if the chat will be Flash based, Java based, or something else.

That wouldn't be so cool when you think about how many people would have to moderate all these individual chat rooms. A chat room requires constant surveillance, and if that isn't provided, it can get out of hand and eventually ruined. It would be quite challenging to ensure 24-hour surveillance for as few as 3 in-game chat rooms if the moderation team consists of fewer than a dozen people.

Cormyn already discussed this topic, and he said it will probably not happen.... Read the last few pages of this thread and your' questions will probably be answered

But just know, there are many different languages spoken on here from different countries. Considering this is an American website, I think we'll only have English chat rooms.

Chat, like every other form of communication on the site (other than private messages on ag3) will have to be in English. We can't have moderators in every language on the site, so we want everything to be done in English.

What about adding a translator feature to the chat?

Just wondering is the idea for AG chat app for ipod, iphone and iPad something to be considered? Or maybe it written in a language that iPod's can use.

I would use it a lot and if it came with tabs for the forums... even better.

A chat app would be the end of my life. I struggle enough trying to stay away from AG. Yet it could actually be pretty handy during class..
