Title: Gameroom Instant Messaging
Post by The_Jeh on May 7^th, 2007, 10:50pm

Could we add a feature to the gameroom to send an instant message to other online players? I mean, like you can do with an invite except you don't have to make a challenge? This would be very handy if you want to invite someone to something other than a game, or for whatever reason just want to say something immediately without proposing a game.

some people (like me) abuse the invite (unrated and no time limit) ... this actually gives a private chatroom then ;-)
I would love an integrated lobby-chat in the gameroom featuring private messages just like bribble did ... but then until now I was to lazy to set up the IRC myself ...
integretaion would be of course more intuitive ...

Yes, I've done the same thing before with the unrated invite thing. The chatroom we had before was nice, but if the person with whom you wanted to chat wasn't in it, there was no way to let them know you want them to join.
