One word... Groupchat.
With such a big Rp community it's kind of surprising how little effort has been put into the chat system. Fleshing that aspect out is not only simple but very quickly rewarding for that massive chunk of the playerbase.
A system that lets you add multiple players to the same Message-style conversation would do wonders. It could serve as a meeting point for the various clans and factions, it could help keeping smaller circles of players together as well, not to mention it's pretty much the groupsex of rp. This game really needs it. Right now the only thing like it is to invite all players to a room and use the global chat. but not only is that pretty elaborate, it also puts a great restriction on message length.
it could be done fairly simply by just creating a separate system that allows players to create and manage group chats, invite players to them, and access them in a separate tab next to messages. -And that's just an example. No doubt there are both simpler and better solutions for it. But anything that could give more than two people access to the same conversation in privacy would do nicely I think.
Do some other of you have any thoughts on this? I mean the way I see it I think most players could make use of such a feature.
