Personally, I think private channels are all that is needed. Let people register channels and moderate them themselves and the spam problem largely goes away. Isnt that easy, private (clan) channels moderated by people in wc3 were still very vulnerable. Spammers useing bots to make hundreds of accounts/IP's can ruin a channel. | ||

You really going to shell out 60 to spam a channel? | ||

Spammers useing bots to make hundreds of accounts/IP's can ruin a channel. This reminds me of not-so-long ago statement from appl that sure, they will give MMS to all iphones BUT 2g "because of technological difficulties". The fun part - swirlyMMS is working on 2g iphone since loooong time ago. | ||

Chat channels will come eventually, in the meantime, enjoy the game. I'd much rather they spend their time balancing and releasing the game instead of focusing on something we can do via iRC/Party Chat/1:1 Conversation/Custom Games/MSN/Forums/a million other ways. Obviously implementing chat channels requires more than just taking some old technology and copy/pasting it into a new product; they need artists to redesign the battle.net interface to accommodate for the new icons, frames, some internal testing, blah blah blah. | ||

Uhh... what? They're both programming jobs. Likely both using a combination of C++ and flash (at least I think flash is used in the battle.net UI). Any programmer that isn't equally capable of writing a facebook app and writing a chat room aren't worth a damn. | ||

Highly unlikely. Both are done by the team working on bnet2.0 (not specific for sc2 atm, since this is a global system). manhours and funding went towards facebook integration over a chat system. | ||

mouse over the right side of one of your 1:1 conversation and click the tab and it pops out a list of people in the conversation... and hit the giant button on top of the list that says "INVITE TO CHAT". I don't even understand how it's a big deal that channels don't exist in beta when their messenger takes care of almost everything you need already anyways. | ||

I don't even understand how it's a big deal that channels don't exist in beta when their messenger takes care of almost everything you need already anyways. Did you ever play on bnet? Channels were so useful for so many things: 1. Meeting random friends of friends or strangers. 2. Gathering place for teams/clans. 3. Place to go when looking for casual 1v1s (like op ToT on europe). 4. Organsing tournaments/events/clan wars/showmatches/competitions/etc. 5. Somewhere to simply idle or chat like an IRC channel. 6. Simply being able to see people rather than stare at some bland menu. It's just a really important social aspect of the game so chat channels or something similar is simply a requirement for anyone who's not a robot. | ||
