    Suggestion: password protected channels in private chat

    I think it would be great if we had private channels that we could go in for guild wars so that spies can't relay information to opposing guilds.

    There's always Skype. It's a great place for coordination between guildmates.

    What VillainX said.

    If you can play an MMO, you certainly can Skype.

    But...if a spy is in your guild, how would a private channel or being on skype stop that? Obviously you don't know who it is or they would be kicked out, and if you invite guildies to an alternate communication then the spy would technically be invited to. Or is there something I'm missing?

    "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
    "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

    This. Also, there are a number of people who play at work. They obviously cannot use Skype or Vent.

    If they can play an MMO at work, then they can use skype (text, not voice) to message others.

    Not true. If they can play an MMO at work then they can have a browser installed that supports flash. Nothing more, nothing less. It does not mean they can install 3rd party software, messaging widgets and a host of other crap.

    How about this instead, Herby? Since it's a darned MMO, maybe the whole communication system that lets people talk to each other could use an overall to bring it into this century. Comms is obviously an afterthought. Except for that spamming splashing nonsense they seem so fond of all day.

    Only takes a few seconds to search "IM on browser"

    My point is: if something doesn't work as you like, don't sit there waiting for things to happen.

    Work it out with your guildmates and find your own solution to your problem.

    You're right Herby. Not sure why I should expect an MMO that potentially costs money to have anything reasonable in place to facilitate communications during the one event that actually has guild members able to work with one another. My bad. You know what? Rather than rely on Tynon to write us a game, how about we all go outside and play jacks or dice? Or maybe we could all flash mob. That's sort of an MM-NotO. Anyone up for a good LARP?

    If they're in the business of gaming and entertainment, on the other hand, perhaps they want the opportunity to improve their product. This would improve it instead of putting more eyes on other software, no doubt supported by other ads for other games and places to spend money.
