Check it out! https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?ChatRoom=1

Official announcement: https://www.warzone.com/blog/index.php/2019/01/update-4-11-chat-rooms/

This is exactly what we have needed for a long time! I really appreciate it, Fizzer!

If I could suggest another feature, could you implement a way to share a clan chat with another clan? Hellas and Varangian Guard draw from the same community, and lots of the members know each other. We had a chat game, but Varangian guard grew so fast that we ran out of room. Keep making this game great, Fizzer! I'm really enjoying it!

Nice to see chat is back :)

Nice.

Wow that's pretty neat. I'm looking forward to see how players use this new feature. Nice job fizzer!

2019 looking good already. It redirects me to my games though if I try to access the chat room in Flash.

For some reason it reverts me to My Games

If you're on Android, until the app is updated, do this: disable/uninstall warzone, and in chrome select desktop mode, then click the link. Iphone probably would wprk the same way

It is not for Flash web mode. Use other modes.
If you're on phone it is like VG saying.

Thank you for this update, and for the bug fix on custom messages! :)

Can we have custom chat rooms, please? me and the boys have been in a game for a couple years using it as a chatroom and this would be a good option if we didn't have to force everyone into the same clan

Awesome feature!

Just a small bug report:

Names are cut off on the left on my client.

Also some suggestion regarding the timeout for managers. It would be nice if we had the option to timeout someone without deleting their messages, and/or delete individual messages.

Just going to suggest that the tick sound shouldn't get played when you send a message.

as has been said in global chat, filtering possibilities (esp. for notifications) are really necessary!

otherwise really nice!

Nice!

My screen name is cut off on the left side in Microsoft Edge btw (2 letters)

it's xmas!!! \o/
next thing you know you'll see a list of who is online so you can pm them!

Alright first of all Fizz doing this is pretty huge, not only have we been asking for chatrooms for quite a while now, but the clan tab also allows clans to communicate easier (no more need for chat games, which were pretty limiting and shit). Anyone who criticized Fizzer can now shut the hell up, because he's fulfilled one of our biggest wishes.

So this works just fine on UJS but on Flash it doesn't work, and a lot of us stick to Flash because of familiarity, nostalgia, simplicity, or other reasons. So my only suggestion is to make the chatrooms accessible via flash (legacy), so that those of us stuck in the past can enjoy the future simultaneously.

Thanks a ton Fizzer, it means a lot for real.

He took away my moderating privileges. I've been oppressed.

Maybe separate tabs for games created and forum posts.... kinda being spammed by games created.

that's just me but i first thought that the icon was an eye

Nice addition to be able to remove the open games, thanks fizzer^^

Thanks for the ability to highlight/copy :)

Sorry to add another feature request, but could you make it so that if i hide the open games, i still see the previous 100 or so chat messages including forum posts? Because if i hide it i don't see any chat messages

When you are in Global and get a chat in Clan. Switching tab doesn't scroll you down to see the latest msg. Same the other way too.

Basically, going back between them should place you at the bottom of that chat. At least I would prefer it that way :)

EDIT: also https://www.warzone.com/Clans/Create add clan chat ;)

Time for the message would be useful.
Otherwise, I don't know when the message was posted, game created and etc

^time message was sent is viewable if you click the player who sent the message.

Most people in chat seem to agree that there's too many link. Might need to point out that they can change the notifications (by going to Global > settings wheel) when whey first visit chat. Maybe add the option to hide forum post messages as well.

Edit: added instructions to view chat options.

This is going to make Clan chatting much better but I have to agree with Cata Cauda, The time out function shouldn't delete every message the user has ever sent. That makes trying to read back through chat impossible and leaves conversations disjointed

Thanks Fizzer
