I think that chat would get a lot more mileage if you could never close it this way you're on, you're farming, you're bored, you say boo in chat, someone boo's back & then someone goes on a tangent about feelings & stuff & then next thing you know a few hours went by talking to good people you wouldn't have talked to otherwise because they don't use skype and never will.
Also would be nice if it had different functions like whisper & a chat room that linked with everyone in the server (world chat)! You wanna talk smack to your rival alliance buddies sure knock yourself out (queue language filters), had a few drinks & need someone to talk to yea there's your neighbor in alliance FarmsABunch let's talk to him.
In a hurry to snipe out the enemies CS or need support double fast? Post it in a chat that never closes hey there's an idea!!!!!!!!
Ah yes, fun times with the Grepolis chat that COULD STILL BE!!
I'm telling you guys take notes from Evony style chat & everyone will be having a much better time, or don't & wish you had what do I care.
Oh that's right I do care, c'mon chat can be so much better!!!!!!!!!!
