New Chat Window Update Details

Window:

  • Display PM (Private Messages) on the left, right, top, and bottom (previously only left and right):
    windowSide.png
  • Add PM to favorites. It will be pinned at the top of the PM list:
    windowFavPm.png
  • Automatic sorting of PM tabs, with active chats shown at the top.
  • Resize window borders on all four sides like in Windows. The old resizing method is still available:
       

Chat:

  • Context Menu: You can now react to messages with emojis:

  • Context Menu: Use the Reply function to respond to messages:
    chatContextReply.png
  • Clicking on a replied message will take you to the original message.
  • A "new messages" line now separates read and unread messages. This applies to all hidden chats. When you return to a chat, you start reading from this line:

  • Chat participant names are now clickable, bringing up the context menu for that character:
       

Multi Group Chat:

  • Multi-group chats are now supported, allowing you to be part of an unlimited number of group chats simultaneously.
  • Group chat tabs are placed above the PM tabs. Group chat names can include emojis:

  • Two ways to create a group chat:
    1. From the avatar context menu, create a new group chat and send an invite to the selected character:
      grCreateAndInvite.png
    2. Via a button in the chat window, create a new group chat with just yourself as the first member:
      grCreateEmpty.png
  • You can invite a player to an existing group chat using the player’s context menu:
    grSelectAndInvite.png
  • Moderation Features:
    • The group chat creator is the admin, marked with a star:
      grAdminStar.png
    • Admins can promote other members to admin via the context menu:
      grAdminAssign.png
    • Admins can remove members from the group chat:
      grAdminKick.png
    • Admins can leave the group chat:
      grAdminLeave.png
    • If an admin leaves the group chat, the next person in the member list becomes the admin.
    • Admins can delete the group chat, disbanding all participants:
      grAdminClose.png
  • Room Sharing:
    • You can choose which specific group chat has access to a room.
    • A kicked member will be removed from any room shared with that group.
  • Known Issues:
    • Leaving the game will remove you from all group chats. We're considering adding persistent group chats in future updates.

Input Area:

  • Emoji:
    • Emoji button added:
      inputEmojiButton.png
    • 560 emojis available (click to zoom):
      inputEmoji.png
    • Maximum of 10 emojis per message.
    • "Last used" section shows your most recent emojis:
      inputEmojiLastUsed.png
    • All emojis can be used as reactions.
  • The input field automatically resizes based on the amount of text entered:
       
  • Commands:
    • Quick access to the command menu with a button:
      inputCommandsBtn.png
    • You can also open the command menu with the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [/], navigate with the [Arrows], and confirm with [Enter]:
    • /roll, /roll1, and /roll2 have been merged into one command: /roll[number]. For example, you can use: /roll6, /roll69, /roll2345234, etc.:
      inputCommandsRoll.png
    • /name is a new command that returns a random participant's name from the group, local chat, or world chat (we disabled this option in the world chat at players request to protect privacy). It can be used for things like picking a giveaway winner or playing spin the bottle:
      inputCommandsName.png
  • Unsent text is saved for each chat tab:
       
  • Maximum message length increased to 400 characters.
  • Scroll through input text using the mouse wheel.
  • Classic text editing shortcuts are supported: [Ctrl], [Shift], [Alt] + [Arrows], double-click to select a word.
  • Arabic RTL input is supported. Activate by selecting Arabic as your language.

Settings:

  • Interface Options:
    • Time: Toggle message timestamps on/off. If disabled, the timestamp appears in the context menu of the message.
    • Emoji: Toggle emoji display in text.
    • Reactions: Toggle display of user reactions to messages.
    • World: Toggle the World Chat tab and its notifications.
    • Income: Toggle the Income tab and its notifications.

Translation:

  • There are two translation modes:
    1. Real-time translation: Every new message is automatically translated:
      trEnable.png
    2. Manual translation: Select a message to translate using the context menu. Clicking the button again will show the original text:
      trContext.png
  • You can select your native language, and messages will be translated to it. There are two ways to do this:
    1. In the chat settings:
      trMy1.png
    2. In the real-time translation panel:
      trMy2.png
  • Translated messages are marked with a line:
    trMsg.png
  • You can clear all translations on the page using a button in the real-time translation panel:
    trClear.png
  • You can hide the real-time translation panel:
    trHide.png
  • You can specify languages that do not require translation:
    trDont.png
  • Known Issues: The translation service is powered by LibreTranslate. We are not responsible for inaccuracies or any resulting issues.

Since this is a beta version, the beta server may be unavailable at any time while we perform maintenance on it. Please try logging in again later.

I was hoping for some kind of history feature mostly, even if that history is stored locally.

What about 'sharing room for group'. For which group it will be shared if i have more than one chat group active ?

I think a very high profile feature would be to be able to pull the windows apart so we can place different chats in different areas similar to a very popular chat mod in WoW. Really need to be able to constantly see "Local" while having other windows remain stacked, especially for room owners who need to keep the pulse on local and other chats.

So since the chat features are finally getting an update, does this mean we may see something for profile cards in the not too distant future? :o

I'd personally like more HTML tag support, and a larger limit on text that can be put in. It's a profile so I'd like to make it my own more than it already is. :)

Well, how can that be? --- There is no way to select emoticons while pressing the Shift key.

for example, If I want to quickly send three emoticons to my beloved  🥰😘❤️, I have to go back to the selection every time and click the next one - it’s very inconvenient, but I could hold Shift and, without leaving the menu, mark several at once and send them, it’s so convenient and easy !
