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.

So it seems you have a problem with chatting now?

His problem is most likely with the effort of using an offsite chat, not chatting itself.

I see what you are saying, but it is the human nature to want to do things with little or even no effort, and having a system built into the website would make it easier to Direct Message users.


We have a system built into the website to directly message users. It's called profile comments. There might be times every now and then when someone wants to send something to someone else that they don't want anyone else to see, but 99.9% of the time, it doesn't need to be 100% private.

I would suggest Having a moderator/admin chat and a regular user chat as well as the ability to host rooms. I would also suggest putting a filter on it that is optional for swearing such as the one on the game Shell Shock Live. The hosted rooms should also be able to be password protected. These are just a few of my ideas. Hope it helps. (If these ideas have already been mentioned sorry for re-posting them.)
