To make chat messages easier to control. Other online games have simple but effective chats that allow us to have different tabs open. SK just mashes it all together in a way that you're forced to do a silly amount of scrolling to see someone's /whisper if you happen to be in a crowded Haven and you're also in the /trade chat :I

P.S: I dunno if this has been suggested already. I checked the first three pages of the Suggestions forum to see if there was something similar. Since I didn't notice it and I don't want to gravedig an older thread, I made this one.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

This has been suggested before.

But I still support it.

The chat works and I kind of like how simple it is. Given how slow OOO is and what kinds of things they've done to the UI already, I'm not sure that I'd want them mucking around with it. If anything, the ability to copy the chat would be nice to have.

@Autofire

Like I said in the OP, I checked the more recent pages of the Suggestions section and didn't find something like this (there was a similar one, but it wasn't quite the same) and I didn't want to gravedig anything too old :p

@Fehzor

True, I wouldn't like OOO to fudge this up too. I'm still annoyed at the fact that the only ways to tell which weapon is cursed is if we use the lag inducing, needlessly huge weapon wheel or risk killing yourself if you don't like using the wheel. But to be honest, I'll be VERY surprised if they do manage to derp a chatbox up, especially when there's so many good ones around they can learn from already.

One that comes to my mind is World of Warcraft's chatbox. I didn't play WoW too much but I do remember that we could make different tabs in the chatbox so we could sort out the different chats instead of having a constant stream of messages from different ones (normal chat, Zone, Trade, Whispers) that ended up being a mess to read through. Which is what currently happens with SK's chat, more often than it should, IMO.

Mentioned a lot of times, and in light of the aprocrean farming madness with "Everyone has obtained 4x Sigilyphs" flooding the chat, of course we would at least like it that there is a separation in chats, not to see [2 Trade] mixed with guild chat and etc.

"I checked the first three pages of the Suggestions forum to see if there was something similar." <- in OP.

Those threads weren't in the first 3 pages, so I obviously didn't see them. I'm just being as lazy about searching posts as OOO is when it comes to taking suggestions and feedback from the community.

Edit: Also, the most recent one is two months old. Did you not notice the part where I said I didn't want to gravedig? Looks like I wasn't the only one being lazy about this.
