Feature Requests / Re: instant messaging
« on: March 21, 2011, 09:08:54 PM »I believe Monty was suggesting something akin to a chatroom per region. It's not a bad idea, as it is in between letters and using IRC, though either letters or IRC would serve better if you wanted permanence or instant feedback.
The advantage you may be thinking of is that it would be instant notification, but the reality is you would simply type a message, and then no one would respond for quite a while and you might as well have sent a letter.
Yes it is what I was thinking about. And, I realize that there is IRC. However isn't IRC more of an ooc tool? What I am saying is an actual IC way to communicate. I do realize in some instances letters are better. However sometimes the letters are a pain as many people log out then check back then log out then check back. Whereas with a chat room it could make a sound when someone wrote something.
