Is that a good idea ? #492

Is that a good idea to add channels to chat with your friends but the other players can't read them like in this example : "chatwithchannels.herokuapp.com" ?

cant they just use messengers like discord or just vc

But I think the built-in chat could be improved.

Is it a good idea? That's a bit subjective. It would certainly add complexity. What would it even look like? Perhaps there's a way around it without adding 'channels'. Just add a new command. Perhaps -w name message to whisper message to another player. Would that do? But how would you whisper to players with no name? Maybe you couldn't? And should the chat keep -w name typed in until you erase it, so you don't have to type the user's name again for another message?

@Ayelis sounds good to me atleast; a basic whisper command could be useful sometimes

would also be cool to have a -r/-reply command; basically you type -reply [message] to reply to the most recently sent whisper to you
