There will definitely be "chat channels" coming in one of the patches after the release. The system will be based around groups, where you will be able to join public channels that are based around your interests, which can be virtually anything. Also the system will include private chat channels (in plans for release in the first few months after the release), where you will be able to meet with your friends. -Kapeselus Source: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25399622869 | ||

As for identifiers they are returning for the second phase of the beta. The previous system did not work as intended to some degree and based on feedback received the developers decided to implement a variation of this, which is going to attach character codes. These will be three digit numbers added to your nickname and they will be seen in the UI screens. Thanks to this you will be able to add friends manually, just like previously with identifiers. On top of that you can still add friends using all other methods (using the score screen or RealID). I'll pause with that. | ||

I think we all knew chat channels would be implemented. It's annoying that it has taken this long for an answer that didn't piss us all off, but better late than never I guess? edit: Also, I'm fine with Identifiers. I don't think it's a perfect system, but it's about 100x better than getting somebody's email address. | ||

I guess having faith in Blizzard wasn't a bad idea. I was getting worried though. I mean, I would still play SC2, but I do love the communication that old Bnet has had and it was beginning to look like they were going to pull a WiFi Connection-style friend list mistake in 2.0 (not as bad though) by making it really hard to get people added that you don't know. So, good news indeed. Those few months will probably feel like ages, though. Although, I'm intrigued to see how this interest-based channel system will work. | ||

Group channels, chat channels classified around subjects of interest, and after release. They had told that already, then came all the flames because "after release" means very late, and means that it's not a priority (compared to FB integration for instance...), and with all these flames people thinking that Blizzard had no plans to implement chat channels in any way... etc... So now people say "good move", "Blizzard listens"... | ||

 it was clear that they would implement chat and a new friend-identifier-system but the fact that they didnt say anything until now really bugged me | ||

I used to hate that in other games I'm guessing it's going to work like before with name.identifier where the identifier only showed up on the profile screen, but you don't get to pick your identifier this time. | ||
