So, after reading through the various chat threads (both AIM and SOE), I've come up with a couple of issues that I think merit their own thread.
1) Will SOE chat be supported by third-party clients?
I know that many of us enjoyed the old AIM support because one's buddy lists could be accessed without logging fully into the game, also allowing players in game to leave messages for those who were offline but had left their AIM client connected. I'm hoping we'll see a return to this, as I really think it helped keep people connected.
NOTE: If this proves to be the case, it would be great to have some configuration instructions posted on DN1, or even somewhere on these boards.
2) Will we once again be able to add certain "administrative users" to our buddy lists?
I know for a fact that this is bothering a lot of players. I'm not talking about adding CSRs to our buddy lists (although I guess some people had been doing that in the past as well), but simply being able to add the LET characters. While I'm sure the current setup cuts down on the spam-tells that certain characters receive when they log in, I know that I for one have had an enjoyable time sending tells back and forth with these same characters. Not only that, but it only takes the Assassin's name showing up on one's buddy list for them to go rushing off to Sobra Shores looking (usually unsuccessfully, but not unamusingly) for the thing.
Anyway, that's all I have. It'd be great to get some kind of official, aquatic mammal response on these specific issues.
