Dear Developers,
I am requesting that you add access to this great out of game feature which still requires log in, that is the XMPP/JABBER access that you allow in Star Trek Online. ANY STAR TREK ONLINE player that has a gold status or lifetime subscription can access this feature from any Cryptic game including Neverwinter and Champions Online, however current players of those games can't use it. This feature allows me to view all guild chats from all games and custom channels while not in game that I am subscribed to. Please help make this feature available to all players and of all 3 Cryptic Games.
P.S. I do expect Cryptic to put the necessary security protections such as certain levels, etc to put in place to protect against spammers.

"Hey gang!
As part of our ongoing testing of our new XMPP feature, we are now enabling Star Trek Online's Tribble users to make use of the feature! NOTE: You must be a Gold Member to be able to use this feature.
I've been using this for quite sometime now, and have been having a blast with it! Right now, this feature is only in beta, as such, it's possible that there could be frequent outages, or unplanned maintenance could be performed at any given time, so please bear with us, and pardon our dust, this feature is still in its BETA phase.
Below, you'll find the instructions for how to connect to our in-game chat server using Pidgin, which is the IM client we use here at Cryptic, however, this should also work using Trillian, or any other client which supports XMPP chat.
We will be keeping an eye on this thread to gather your feedback, and will be working with you to help ensure that the experience improves and is nice and stable for when we enable this functionality for all our users.
If you're not currently signed up for Tribble, and wish to check this feature out, you can sign up for Tribble here.
If you have any feedback, or questions about this feature, please leave it in this thread so that we can find it easily!
Thanks,
Stormshade

This is not a subscription based service, it was however started when Star Trek Online was subscription based which is why I want them to make it available to all players now that we have a free to play model on all 3 games.
Ah, then this sounds like a good thing to me.

It is kind of fun to freak out guild mates as you don't show up on the guild roster. Also sometimes when NW goes down for maintenance the chat stays up (unless all three game are down)
there Is instructions on how to set this up in the Neverwinter Gamepedia Wiki under "Chat" with Pictures and troubleshooting tips.
So far if you have gold/or lifetime in STO or Champs online you can access this feature on all 3 games.
But even HOTN Neverwinter players cannot access this feature (unless they have gold in another game).
If this has changed i'm sure various people who only play NW would love to know.
I now have lifetime on Champ so I cannot tell if things change.
one tip for people that have Email addresses as your login
since Pidgin wont accept the @ Sign you have to use the escape character (\40) to log in.
lets pretend your email is Bob123@Email.com
to login to pidgin you'd need to use Bob123\40Email.com a your user name.
