This one's related to all the games on the network actually.

Have you ever been chatting with someone and they're talking about one thing, and you think it has to do with the game you're playing, but it doesn't at all, and... I can just imagine that irking more than a few people at times.

The idea of connecting the three games so everyone can chat together no matter what game they're on is an awesome idea, yes, but it gets a bit confusing at times, which is why I'd suggest something like...

...Say I'm playing Champions Online, and another person's playing Star Trek Online.
What if it was like this?:

(my view)
Ilztas@ilztas: Thanks again for that [Commanding Eyepiece], Druzaza. Heh. I kept checking the auction house for it, never saw it.
[STO] Druzaza@KISSTORY: no problem. I hardly play that game anymore so it was just sittin in my vault collecting digital dust

Now it might not look like much, but wouldn't that be so much more convenient? If you can see which game someone's in just like that, there'd be a lot less confusion. I also can't imagine it being much more difficult than any other update.

    The cross game chat is one of my favorite features in Cryptic games. I think this is an excellent suggestion to make it even better.

    Awesome idea! I'm totally behind this happening!!!

    Also I suggest a game specific Trade channel be created as well. This should be built into each game separately to help with some of the channel confusion.

    Bacon Overlord@Scallawag sorta took care of that part. There's COtrade, STOtrade and I think NWOtrade. He owns two, and the other was already made by someone I believe. They just need to catch on.

    Only one instance of "Trade" can exist in the chat network of course... unless someone made it actually part of the system, like how we chat to an entire map like

    /zone Hey all.
