I might have missed other information floating around on this, so my apology in advance.

But, why isn't there any IP CHAT for 4.0? Will it come with RC1?

I believe its going be with RC1 but don't quote me on that i remember seeing post about it today by Charles i believe.

There will be.

 

I personally don't think chat needs to be super sophisticated. I am fine with the current system. You type, people can reply in real time. IT works.

A more "persistent" chat with rooms would take it the next level.

Kind of like a simple IRC I guess.
