Yessssssssss.
We have chat capabilities now.
What this means for all registered users on desktop machines is that you should see a chat bar across the bottom of your browser window now whenever you're viewing a RPC web page. Be advised that the layout differs slightly between desktop and mobile browsers.
Basic functionality on desktop is as follows:
Please note that there are a number of confirmed bugs with the chat feature. Rest assured that we've put in tickets for the known issues. We'll have a list for you shortly.
Many thanks to our Patrons, who've made this possible with their donations. Thank you again for helping us test the new feature and document bugs as we ran into them. We hope you all enjoy the new feature moving forward!
We have chat capabilities now.
What this means for all registered users on desktop machines is that you should see a chat bar across the bottom of your browser window now whenever you're viewing a RPC web page. Be advised that the layout differs slightly between desktop and mobile browsers.
Basic functionality on desktop is as follows:
- "Chat" will indicate how many users are online, as well as whether they are currently viewing their browser and whether they are on mobile. Click on "Chat" to expand and view the list of users.
- Clicking the Quote symbol with the "Chat Rooms" mouse-over will, be default, drop you into the General Chat Room. Please be advised that there are no FFXIV spoilers allowed in GenChat.
- A small red "New" notification will pop up over a chat window/room whenever someone speaks up. A bug exists where this notification will be wiped if you move to a different RPC web page.
- To leave a chat room and view the room lobby, click the Door symbol in the upper right-hand corner of a Chat Room to leave it.
- We currently have General Chat, Spoiler Station, and a number of IC chat rooms for live RP purposes.
- To chat directly with another user, click on their icon from the "Chat" User List, or click on their icon from the chat room list of users and then select "Private Message".
- A report function exists for RPC Chat that will inform all admins and mods. Please use this when appropriate.
- Admins and mods can and will ban users from RPC Chat for toxic behavior. This can be anywhere from a few seconds to permanently.
Please note that there are a number of confirmed bugs with the chat feature. Rest assured that we've put in tickets for the known issues. We'll have a list for you shortly.
