Master server chatroom/lobby?

[Thilo]

Do you guys ever plan on upgrading the master server to have a chatroom. So you click "multi player" and it takes you to a lobby where you can join channels or view game servers and stuff. Also the ability to message people inside servers. Stuff like that. Like Battle.net, Yahoo, etc.. all do it? You've probably considered it and/or thought about it deeply. I'm just saying- seems to work for everyone else. Just throwing it out there.

No. However, the Glou projects intends to do this, àla xfire/xbox live/steam, but is still in early conception. Watch for it.

would be useful for all i think but i have no idea whether it's possible. If you want to communicate with player 1 while he's in a server, make sure you both use teamspeak, IRC or something else.

I would hate if I got chat from outside the server, I spend enough time silencing people as it is. Luckily I'm not too popular, so this would hardly happen anyway.

it'd help me to contact clanmates that i don't see very often when we have tourneys where we need players for. I wouldn't use it to annoy you

I might Ok, not really. I personally see no point in the idea. We even have these forums, for crying out loud!

[Word]

If there was a way to block it for those who don't like it, it'd be ok for me. For example there could be a button under "start network game" like "visit lobby" where you get the server list AND a line you can use to write any stuff you like to a server you need to adress with something like "@Yellow_Submarine : kskskasjasdlsdhl" and the player in the server can answer by "@lobby".

would it be possible to integrate a kind of irc client in armagetron that is only connected with #armagetron.lobby or anything like that?

Possible, yes. But unlikely to happen and very redundant.

Amen!
