Nothing special, but very helpful!

A better chat system? So you don\'t have to use /guild and stuff...For anyone that has played Project entropia, think of that chat system. I\'m talking about a tabbed chat window. Some of the windows:

All-shows what is being typed in all of the other windows
Guild-replacing the /guild command
Auctions-self explanitory
Events-Any events that are going on, ie-hide \'n go seek, ect.
Staff (for staff)-anything the staff has to talk about to eachother

Also, maybe make it so you only have to press the Tab button to go to the chat window you have up, instead of having to use the mouse.

Remember, the windows have tabs, so all you have to do to switch tabs is click on the different tab. So in other words, not buttons like on your toolbar.

This is exactly what I\'m working on now with \'chat type\' buttons.  So you can be in a particular chat \'mode\' ( ie guild ).  I\'m also looking at filtering different types of chat messages.  Not sure if they will be in different windows ( like different irc channels ) or interspersed into the main one ( using different colours ).  So you can select only the types of messages that you want to see.

So in summary that chat window will be made better :)
