    Hi,

    How about a game-wide chat room?

    I know you can use other IM programs but it would be nice, when you see someone online here, to send them a quick message that they see in real time to respond to so you can setup a game...

    Hi TMPC,

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I can understand how that would be useful on the site.  I know that implementation of site-wide chat has been discussed and is something we'd like to pursue.  It's just a matter of deciding how to work the feature into the website & game client and where we can fit it into our roadmap.  I think it's something we'll see eventually, but I just don't have a specific ETA just yet.

    Well I don't know what ya'll have in mind for this but, if youre wanting to code your own flash or java chat client that could be time consuming. My suggestion is there's a chat client on the market called 123Flash Chat. I'm sure atleast one of the admins knows what it is but if not, its a Flash/Ajax chat client that has multiple skins and allows some pretty cool site integration like being able to interact with the user database and when a user clicks the room to enter it auto detects the username and signs them in under that so there's no altering and creating inappropriate names and allows people to realize who is who. It can be coded so that its incorporated on the site to where you can't even tell it's not part of the site itself. What you could do is have it setup as a link under "WGT Community" and when clicked takes you to a page with room options.. you could have rooms such as "General Discussion", "Help and Advice", "Friendly Game", or "MPC".. or something along those lines. Then when they choose the room it auto-logins as their wgt username into the room.

    It also has features where you can assign moderators for muteing and banning users.. which would consist of wgt admin of course.

    Don't know if youre willing to use 3rd party software... but its an idea.

    There is a chat room where several WGT'ers hang out.  They're all pretty good to newcomers as long as they don't come in and make an ass out of themselves.  Yes, they made an exception for me...

    Well Jason, you after all are a certified, well, you know :)  The best players on this sight frequent this room. They do have extensive knowledge and offer advice if asked, I also expect it will be full during the Ryder cup this year also as it was last year.

    Wow it is now Feb 2014.

    Wgt You all ready have a chat area while playing. Why not just make it available at all times, on our profile page and CC page. Not only in game play...

    Sure it is not too difficult for you IT wizards to do that.
