Mabey make the chat room into a chat where it doesnt matter where you are, you can still chat to each other.

I dont know the exact name for it, but im hoping you understand what i mean :)

And the box to the right, where you see the creatures/npc's etc.. Mabey you can see the people that are in the chat.

When the game gets more busy and there are a lot of people in the chat, mabey it should be a list of different chat rooms.

Hope you all get what i mean, if you don't i will explain slightly better. At the moment im like half asleep.

I can have the panel under the map display players and NPCs, depending on the chat tab selected or put a list of them as a separate window or panel within the main chat window, depending on what chat tab is selected. So that if you were on the room tab you would see the players in that room while still seeing the NPCs and creatures in the panel under the map.

Whatever is going to be easier for you guys to navigate around in works for me though.

Does global chat work better for everyone? I can alter the chat so that all messages are global.

OK, I will make the chat global then.
