Will IPBoard 4.0 have IP.Chat? 

Yes, our Chat application will be available with the final release.

Are there any changes at all from it's current iteration?

Or is it the same features in a new skin?

From what I read it's heavilly re-worked.

Thanks for the interest in IP.Chat! There are actually two IP.Chat projects underway. One is a rework of the current IP.Chat to be compatible with IPS4. The other is actually a complete redesign that allows inclusion of new features such as multi-room support. The former will be available with IPS4 "gold" (or final, if you prefer) while the latter will be rolled out a bit later. 

Will the later replace the former or will we have to pay additional to get it?

Looking forward to the multi-room support. Any chance rooms will be able to be set as "private" and only available to certain user groups?

I would anticipate something along those lines... cool idea.

That would be great. We have a large admin team for our gaming servers and we wanted to create private admin rooms for each game we play so our admins can stay on the same page. Please pass that along
