And the market functionality to include some kind of notification of sale.

I guess I'm thinking along the same lines that Guildwork and FFXIAH did for FFXI.
These are some great additions, I like where your head is at.

The answer is simple - you can interact with them even without PC, you can contact people ingame with a simple smartphone app. and you can do so much more without logging in to the game.

What keeps many of us with one title after hundreds of hours, often isn't the game itself, but the bond with friends we created while playing that game. And this is something, that needs to be considered while creating online games.

Turning to subject, I think we could use external ingame chat (so API for that is a must) above all that has been said till now.
I agree, it's going to be very important for functionality like this to be implemented to help the game succeed in the log run.
