'FFxiv' Messenger' - Online/Offline Chat

I have an Instant Messenger suggestion for FFXIV!

For those of us that don't get to play FF as much as we'd like, but still have internet access, having an Out-of-Game chat that sends In-Game tells and vice versa to our friends online would be a nifty addition to the game.

Rather it be an external Messenger to Messenger that populates with your In-Game Friends List or a Messenger that sends tells straight to the In-Game Chat Box of that friend; I think a number of pupils would find this extremely useful and help pass the time being able to chat with their friends while offline. Maybe even implement the messenger into the Lodestone.

With this, people can chat with their In-Game friends without having to get too personal by sharing Skype, Facebook, Txting, or any other more personal methods of communication -- but also don't have to wait until they log in to do so! Just a thought :)

Thanks for your time!

Yes, there's another MMO that did this I used to play and it was a wonderful idea!

Would love to see this in FFXIV as well!

You mean a chat on lodestone ?

Would especially love it if this was a cross-server platform.
