are chat and party functions getting updated?

[stardrifter]

this is probably a dumb question but I've just come back to check in on the game and I'm finding it very difficult to /tell others and invite people that are in another part of Eorzea.

Anyone else feel the same? or am i not doing it right?

you can always /pcmd add Fristname Lastname
but yes the search function as it is now is still lacking

right now for me the only thing that really annoys me is the party window (when you go to party details) displays the members with a scroll bar. Expand the window so you can see all 8 without scrolling or give us the option to resize the window pls!

Config > Keyboard and turn on Chat-specific keyboard. Now you just have to start typing to... start typing.

I used to add people to my friend list to make it easier, but now I just type it.

Remember, capitalization matters.

To answer the question, 'I would assume so." They are revamping the whole game. Since the communication interface is lacking like everything else, I assume they will update it. I never had a problem in FFXI...makes me wonder if people tested this game before they released it...

Hopefully they'll allow us to right click within the chat log and interact with people that way like in other MMO games. It would make things much easier.
