Off-game chat?

Personally, I'd rather see a Linkshell mobile app so that we can talk with LS members when we're offline.

Guildwork does that via XMPP. Anyone the Linkshell Community says is in your LS with a Guildwork account can all chat together across a bunch of IM programs, and it can appear in the chat log if they're using the application. SE needs to provide support for add-ons like that ASAP, like they said they would with the new UI. They've even got it working inside FFXIV now.

My computer can handle FFXI in the background but I play other games and stream movies :P

Still could fix it with a better PC or grab a cheap used one off craigslist or a pc shop for 100 bucks and play FFXI just fine. My busted laptop with the virus called vista can play ffxi well enough and that that is how SE would view this as it is cheaper for you to solve the problem then them.
