Chat System, like STO/CO?

I'm a little curious, with Neverwinter being developed by Cryptic, will it be integrated into the chat system STO and Champions Online share? Will we use the CharacterName@AccountName style of handle? Or will it be stepping back to simply using a character name and nothing else?

    id also like to see things easier private messages or something :-) You know i dont understand why more MMOs cant go to a IM thing where you can actually do Instant messages with people the whole having to use archaic commands to have a conversation is a bit dated. We will see!

    It is on the Cryptic Engine so yes, it uses the same @handle chat system. Just be aware, your account login name is not your @handle.

    I don't understand your comment. :( This is exactly how the Cryptic Engine handles chats. You can directly IM someone just by telling their @handle no matter what character they are on. With the @handle system, character names are only unique per account, it is only the @handle that is unique across the whole Cryptic Account system.

    As long as we are talking chat: I haven't played any other Cryptic games unfortunately but have other MMO's. Does anyone know if there will there be an in game Voice Chat type of setup?

    Indeed, Voice Chat is a part of the Cryptic Engine.

    You know, you can access Cryptic's chat system with your favorite IM client, if you have a Star Trek Online account that you've enabled for Test server access (it goes through the STO public test server, but globals cross all games/servers). I'm in global channels all day every workday.

    Ah, yes, its not really account name anymore, is it? I just remember from the old days where Account Name was your Chat Handle. My Cryptic Account used to be Alairan, thus I am @Alairan. :) Nice to know it'll be the same in Neverwinter!
