Promotion of USA World 1 Chat Interface

[Reynauld de Chatillon]

Hi everyone

I encourage everyone in USA World 1 to join the chat interface. You can chat with other players on the server, ask for assistance, chat with your faction, chat with your house, chat with people within your parish, county, province or country. Please encourage other people to join the chat interface. I hope to see you there

I would like to see some features to make chat more usable in game.

-Notify that is selectable per room (right now it is all or nothing)

-Have the option for the notify to work even if the chat window is not open

-the ability to ping players to open chat with individual player and total blocks

-option to see messages when you are online even if you do not have the window open (open the window and some messages from before you logged in appear as well as anything said when you were online.

I agree with this

Notify that is selectable per room (right now it is all or nothing)

I would be nice.

Also the private message would be nice

Most SHK players are using skype or teamspeak because the chat interface lacks those features.

[Unknownhost]

that and many times players type in the chat and their text does not appear.


yet they can send email with "can you guys see what im typing? i can see you all"


=/ its a wee bit buggy

[Dellwyndria]

I am sure if they see all the interest in it. They will fix it.

A new/improved chat is on The Stronghold Team's list. It just depends where on the list.

Aww come on . Bump it up . I know you have a string or two you can pull

The in game chat has been an issue for a long time. It must be very disconcerting for new players to see less than five players in the general chat. Skype and teamspeak only really work for players who are established and in active houses. Sure having more players in chat will increase the moderation workload, but I think it will far greater increase the popularity (and revenue) of the game.

Besides minor tweaks I feel that the in game chat shortcomings and the incentives to have one house world rule are the two things holding this game back from its full potential.
