Something like on Gmail where you click there name and one of the options is to chat. This would allow players to automatically chat with somebody without setting up a private message. When somebody sends a message through the chat, they would hear a little ding, much like private massages in game. The original creator of the message could add people to allow chat on the forums. Tell me what you think down below!
While I would enjoy and use something like this, I think it might be annoying to some players. Since we have IRC, Skype, Mumble, and Facebook already I'm not sure it's a necessity. (Also, not a new idea haha. Must mean it's a good one.) http://empireminecraft.com/threads/instant-messaging-chat-on-site.34550/ http://empireminecraft.com/threads/forum-chat.33144/ http://empireminecraft.com/threads/suggestion-site-chat-page.20196/
