Im going to get so hated for this but Blizzard are better developers than SE, SE have already stated its very difficult to have cross-zone shouts in XI stating the server load would be 3 times as high if you throw in the whole of jeuno+rulude as a single shout zone, this I find very poor server structure.

Blizzard runs no the Battle Net and chat is put through there for all Blizzard games and that is how it works so well for its communication features. You can talk to WoW players through other games and such. SE right now cannot do a lot of ingame features due to bad server structure and this is why I don think they will make a facebook/iphone app anytime soon for communication. At least not anytime soon.

The community could probably craft one together XD like on XI.
