Decentralizing Ul'dah: An Experiment

I've been kicking this idea around for awhile, and finally decided to give it a shot. An online world chat that entire servers can have access to in order to communicate and organize in real-time while retaining the freedom to camp whichever spot on the globe you may.

Being that I'm often bored at work during these 12hr. night shifts, I decided to throw it together and see what happens. Please note that the site is only functioning properly in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox at the moment. Today is my last night at work, so I'll do some more polishing over my 4-day weekend.

Registration is absolutely painless. If you intend on posting, please read the Terms of Use before doing so (basic common sense for a chat medium). The panes accept both Japanese and English characters, although, I'm sure the Japanese would want an exclusive URL.

Website: Gungnir World Chat

It's little things like this that compel me to post.

Well, if I hadn't said it, surely it would have happened. Just trying to save myself the headache of deleting a lot of unrelated postings.

Now if you could make a downloadable version to act as an overlay to the game that would be very handy.

Absolutely it would, and that's why it's there. I posted it here to pass the idea on to the rest of the community.

Unless it gets changed to something like this, I don't see it getting much use.

You're probably right; Hell, we can't even get people to use the grouping functions we already have most of the time. I'm not a programmer, so Jinko's suggestion is out of my range of ability. Doesn't hurt to try. Oh well, I'm still going to promote it and see what happens.

I don't know about anyone else, but laying a program interface over the top of my game screen, which is already cluttered enough, isn't really practical unless you don't mind losing 1/4 to 1/5 of your screen to it. I just know it doesn't take much to Alt+Tab, have a look, Alt+Tab. All depends on what people are willing to do.
