Alliance Chat Box *REJECTED*

Just an idea, is there anyway an alliance chat box could be implemented onto your home or alliance page which not only allows you to chat as a group in an alliance but also to see who is online in your alliance?
possibly with the past 12 hours conversation shown as well to improve communications
it would definitely bring a great experience to alliances and better social aspect to the game!

If your alliance has forums it should already have one..

It would be nice to cut the middle man out, Its effort just to use this forum let alone another one that is barely used by anyone!

For immediate and real time communication use IRC or Skype. (In-game solution for IRC pending.)
For important and/or less time-sensitive things, use alliancewide PM.

We're using PMs in an age of communication!

I dont' have time for that sort of crap! I work a rediculous shift pattern and mostly play the game on my iphone! a chatbox that is always available with a brief convo history on it would be like a god send!

I just face-palmed so hard I created a black hole.
chatbox= irc = pseudo-skype, and I know you can get skype on your iphone and I daresay your alliance is on skype or otherwise is able to.
If you don't have the time to PM, skype-chat or IRC your alliance then a chatbox will be no better, in fact probably worse off for an Iphone since it's a far-cry for what it's usually built for, just like the one I have for ascended.
If you really want one you could probably find/make/buy one for your alliance forum, if you have one. It's practically standard for any free forum.

Sounds like having a shoutbox in another tab wont help at all. Tried a different browser? Chrome?

I usually use chrome for my iphone, doesn't work well with checking achievements but it usually does fine with other stuff (or firefox, not sure if that's available on iproducts)

Alliance leaders can now specify an IRC channel name of their choice; anyone in their alliance will (if logged in and using the game's IRC) end up in #theplace, #gatewars and #..whateverchannelnameyour1icchose..
Can be set in Alliance Management page. Feature for 1ic's only.
