It would be nice for the game to be able to offer auto-completion for “at-mentions”, such as Twitter and popular business chat software do. Understandably, it might introduce unwanted strain on the servers for this to be a server-side api. Therefore, what I suggest is to have it autocomplete from the user’s…
(1) Chat logs, so anyone who was recently speaking in global can be at-mentioned.
(2) Friends, followed, recruits lists.
(3) Corporation roster
Finally, it would be nice to support multiple at-mentions, such as “hey [@Milfeulle](< base_url >/index.php?/profile/236752-milfeulle/), [@SaladHate](< base_url >/index.php?/profile/252225-saladhate/), let’s get a wing together for a tournament?” – so that it would “ping” them both similar to how a direct chat would do.
This is a great idea, facebook might be a good start as well, i guess.

Yeah that’s great! or do like other cli’s do and do something like:
/w Milfeulle && /w SaladHate let’s get a wing together for a tournament
ofc the above in cmd would say nothing at all to Milfeulle but I think you get the gist. 
/w Millfeulle, SaladHate MESSAGE with a comma between the names. this all depends on what language they are using. C# clearly would be easiest though
Can we throw away the whole chat system and put a jabber or something?

Or a Twitter feed xD
Or nothing, since communication is not present anyway :Đ lol
A twitter feed or better a news board, it could work for corp cominications, but for some reason there aren’t external data loaded into the game client. I hope we all get a better chat, the team could then send a message when the events are about to start in twitch.
